In my case it was because of a recent package upgrade (don't remember what it was) followed by a etc-update, which changed the line in /etc/conf.d/rc from RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes" to RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no", and therefore a reboot did no longer recreate the /dev/nvidia* devices. So I lost the /dev/nvidia* devices. This seems to be already solved with the newest nvidia drivers acording to [1]. Glad I could help.
