Installing 2004.3 on a Dell 5150 and just completed the kernel build and install. I did a emerge nvidia-kernel and got the following errors:

make[3]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r1/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1/usr/src/nv/os-agp.0] Error 1
make[2]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r1/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1/usr/src/nv] Error 2
NVIDIA: left KBUILD.
nvidia.ko failed to build!
make[1]: *** [module] Error 1
make: *** [module] Error 2

!!!ERROR: media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r1 failed.
!!!Function linux-mod_src_compile, Line 418, Exitcode 2
!!!Unable to make IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=yes V=1 SYSSRC=/usr/src/linux SYSOUT=/usr/src/linux
clean module.
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

A few notes that might help:
Using an image released immediately before 2005.0 became available.
USE flags : -gtk -gnome qt kde dvd alsa cdr acpi pcmcia wifi

Hope someone out there has a fix!

I had the same problem, my solution was to use the more recent version.
Try unmasking the unstable version.

If you don't know how to, use the following
Code:
echo "media-video/nvidia-kernel" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "media-video/nvidia-glx" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge --sync
emerge nvidia-glx


This will install both the nvidia kernel modules, as well as the glx drivers.
As I'm also in a Dell I5150, pm me your e-mail address and I can send you my xorg.conf

I also had those errors after compiling the 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 kernel.

I'll install the unstable version.
