$ emerge -up nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    U ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123-r2 [1.0.4349-r1]
[ebuild    UD] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.3123 [1.0.4349]

note that nvidia-kernel is considered to be an upgrade. Why?

Try `emerge -Uup nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx` if you want to keep the later 
ones.

My point was that nvidia-kernel shows up as an upgrade, and nvidia-glx
shows up as a downgrade, even though the version numbers are the same.

Because nvidia-kernel is slotted, and nvidia-glx is not.

That's why it's different. But isn't it buggy?

In my case, probably similar to Robert's the slot of both should be
"2.4.20-gentoo-r2" and it would effectively be as much a downgrade if I removed
-p as the other files with equal "0" slots, unless I changed the kernel which
it was emerged against.

No doubt whatever gets the new slot doesn't calculate the $KV ?

Hmm, portage works fine. It's when it cp the data from metadata/cache during
emerge sync that it doesn't have correct SLOT info.
