Were you using 2.6 and udev-017?
Was using 016, but I just retested with 017. Same problem.
Using 2.6.3-rc2-mm1.
I have nothing in autoload for this (or any other module), nor have I
altered anything in /etc/udev.  
I assume you used the gentoo ebuilds to install udev. If so, did you comment 
out the lines of the startup/shutdown initscripts relating to creating and 
restoring devices.tar.bz2 each time?

Here's how it goes, on a setup where devices.tar.bz2 is not being created, and 
udev is working from scratch on every bootup (as it is intended to do). This 
is from a fresh bootup, the nvidia module is not loaded.

# ls /dev/nvidia*
no such file or directory
# startx

# exit
