 Yes.  The exact same version of nvidia-drivers was being used
 for both kernels.

Any other changes with things that could possibly influence the building 
of the drivers, like X libraries and such?

I'd save the current module (/lib/modues/2.6.23-gentoo-r9/somewehere 
there/nvidia.ko, maybe quickpkg will also work), re-build the drivers for 
that kernel and check if it still unaffected. If so, you could try the 
other kernels between those revisions, or vanilla-sources, and narrow 
down the cause.

Good luck, that's a nasty problem you have.

Um ... just to be clear, that means you did something like 
emerge nvidia-drivers *after* you built the kernel, right?
