Did you compile the module nv in your kernel?
But perhaps if you have an nvidia you're interested in the nvidia closed source drivers (module nvidia).
Take a look here http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml

There is no nv module for the kernel.

executor111, do you have VIDEO_CARDS="nv" in /etc/make.conf? If not, add it and then rebuild xorg-server.

Try with VIDEO_CARDS = "nvidia", and with the closed source driver
