I believe adding "-video_cards_nvidia" to
/etc/portage/profile/use.mask (notice the directory!) should do it.
But really this doesn't matter...this use flag is only used to add a
dependancy on the nvidia drivers for xorg-x11. Having the nvidia flag
masked doesn't in any way prevent you from unmasking
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers, merging them, and using nvidia in
xorg.conf.
