Because the separate nvidia-settings package also ships a library which 
isn't installed by nvidia-drivers package:

$ qfile -b libXNVCtrl.a
media-video/nvidia-settings (/usr/lib64/libXNVCtrl.a)

And it's being used by xfce4-sensors-plugin, if you extract the tarball 
and look inside file configure.in, you'll see:

NVIDIA_LIBS="-lX11 -lXext -lXNVCtrl
                           ^^^^^^^^^ <- See here, libXNVCtrl.a used
