The ebuild of NVidia kernel tells you to add the line nvdriver to your /etc/modules.autoload

When i do that i get proplems when he modprobes the module

When i leave the line out and i do a lsmod my nvdriver is already loaded.

My splash screen loads and everithing is working fine.

So is the ebuild outdate or is there something else i missed

i think just using the /dev/nvidia* device files (such as by starting X) is enough to get the nvidia driver loaded (which is why it appears when you lsmod) however i have no clue what it would complain about loading the NVdriver at boot time
try posting exactly what gets printed out when you have NVdriver in /etc/modules.autoload and we should be able to give you some more help

First off, make sure you have it like this

NVdriver

and not

nvdriver

You might also want to unmerge and merge the nvidia drivers again if you've build a new linux kernel.

I don't think it matters if you leave the line out of modules.autoload or not. I have tried both and it works either way.
