Yep.  This appears to be a reoccurring issue.  There are several bug reports 
about it at different versions of nvidia-drivers.  There's some talk of putting 
the nvidia-settings binary back in the nvidia-drivers package, but apparently 
nothing's happened on that front.  I said the heck with it and ran:

autounmask media-video/nvidia-settings-260.19.29

The new version of nvidia-settings compiled without complaint and the 150 
packages that were backdated are now all up to date.
