Whenever I try an

emerge -p nvidia-glx

it will show me a "R" (not an expected "U") for the installed 3xxx
version (I dont have the exact number here on my W2K box).
   R stands for replace. You are trying to emerge the same pacakge you 
have installed, so emerge recompiles and replaces the package.

But there is this newer 4xxx ebuild package in the
...portage/.../media-video/... path (or tree).
How can I instruct portage to update to this newer version?

   This new package is masked. You can emerge it using 
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" or using the following:

       emerge 
/usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4349-r1.ebuild

I also tried:

emerge -up nvidia-glx.<somemorestuffIcantrecallrightnow>.ebuild

   You must use the whole path as shown above
