Have you tried to use x11-misc/bumblebee? I have no problems with it (ok - the virtualgl stopped working on multilib with steam so I switched to x11-misc/primus).

Regarding lack of /dev/nvidia0 - it would indicate that a) nvidia driver is not loaded or b) something's else is wrong with initialization. Could you check if nvidia module is loaded (lsmod | grep nvidia)[/url]?
I've probably left my head... somwhere. Please wait untill I find it.
