It should get installed with nvidia-drivers:

jmoe@jhb5970 ~ $ equery belongs
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-185.18.36/README.bz2
[ Searching for file(s)
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-185.18.36/README.bz2 in *... ]
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.36
(/usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-185.18.36/README.bz2)

You may have to substitute your nvidia-drivers version number for the
185.18.36 in my path, or the 190.53 in Alan's path?
