I found the solution to my problem. I submitted it as a bug, and it
turns out that is was a known bug. The bug report is at
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113466
The solution:
/etc/portage/package.keywords
added:
media-video/nvidia-kernel ~amd64
media-video/nvidia-glx ~amd64
media-video/nvidia-settings ~amd64
app-admin/eselect-opengl ~amd64
app-admin/eselect ~amd64
emerge -uv world --deep
Now I am able to modprobe nvidia! Thanks to all who replied!

Hi, I am trying to install the nvidia driver on a newly installed Gentoo
system. I emerged nvidia-glx (and nvidia-kernel). I am unable to modprobe
nvidia. When I do so, I get the following error:
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia
(/lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo-r5/video/nvidia.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
dmesg | tail shows me:
nvidia: Unknown symbol register_ioctl32_conversion
nvidia: Unknown symbol unregister_ioctl32_conversion
lspci gives me that the video card is:
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV37GL [Quadro FX
330/Quadro NVS280] (rev a2)
This is a 64 bit Opteron system, and I used genkernel to generate the
kernel (I had some trouble with the manual configuration...) I did try,
as the nVidia guide suggested, to make sure that my BIOS had the option
to assign an IRQ to VGA enabled, but my BIOS had no such option (It's a
Sun Ultra 20). Any ideas on what is wrong? Thanks!
