The arch-x86 (including 64-bit) header files were reorganized in kernel
2.6.27, and as that says, asm/semaphore.h (or more like asm-x86/
semaphore.h) no longer exists in .27.  I won't install proprietaryware so
no nvidia for me and no direct experience with it to help you with, but
it's likely nVidia hasn't updated to take account of that yet (or if so
it'd probably be with the newest drivers, which may not even be in
portage yet let alone stable).

You did mention switching your running kernel back to 2.6.26.x, which
should work, but did you switch your kernel symlink back to it as well?
If not, it's probably still pointing at the 2.6.27.x kernel, thus you'd
still be getting the error.
