Surely the fact that I can compile my own kernel (which I have had to do
for ide-scsi support, sound driver in the kernel and a few other things)
would suggest that my kernel and kernel-headers are correct?

I removed the portage nvidia drivers with the command emerge unmerge
nvidia-glx and emerge unmerge nvidia-kernel but this hasn't helped at
all (and was done when I first tried the install of the 'official'
drivers anyway)
