Hmmm,
I'm using 2.6.24-gentoo-r3.

Emerging (1 of 1) x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-71.86.01

I've never seen this before....
" Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option."

So where/how do I set the SYSSRC variable?

Or is something else wrong?
