Problem :
When you update  x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers, the compilation fails.
Example :
 * Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory.
 * Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of Linux sources.
 * If you are using KBUILD_OUTPUT, please set the environment var so that
 * it points to the necessary object directory so that it might find .config.
 *
 * ERROR: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.31 failed.
Solution :
You aren't on the good kernel.This is because during update the link is change.
If you do :
ls -al /usr/src/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   22 Aug 16 16:30 linux -> linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r1
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Nov 29  2008 linux-2.6.26-gentoo-r3
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Dec  6  2008 linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r4
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Aug  9 13:36 linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r1
You see that the link points on an other kernel and you have'nt compile source for this kernel.
That's why there is no .config files.
So there is two solutions :
- Compile new kernel sources.
- Point on good kernel.
We will take the easier solution : Select your kernel.
To do that :
# eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
  [1]   linux-2.6.26-gentoo-r3
  [2]   linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r4
  [3]   linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r5
  [4]   linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r7
  [5]   linux-2.6.28-gentoo
  [6]   linux-2.6.28-gentoo-r1
  [7]   linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r2
  [8]   linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r4
  [9]   linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r1 *
  [10]  linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r2
Then you can point on the good kernel :
# eselect kernel set 9
If you execute eselect kernel list, you will see a start on the select kernel.
Then you can make an update of the package :
#emerge -u x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
