My system running with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-396.51 wants to update mesa to media-libs/mesa-18.2.0_rc2 but fails with the following error:

Correct, you do not need MESA. It may be pulled in as a build time dependency for some other packages, but it is not used. BTW, there is a bug opened for this issue.

I got bit by this bug. :-(

My question is will enabling nouveau cause any conflicts with the existing nvidia drivers?

Is there a link to the bug issue?

For nvidia-drivers is no mesa testing RC special version required.

Josef.95, media-libs/mesa-18.2.0_rc2 also fails with this error. Is there some USE flag I need to set? Or should I just wait for a workaround on the bug report?

Methinks it starts here. And then a number of duplicate bugs.

I experience the same issue. For now I masked the latest mesa, untill the situation is resolved.
