x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.10-r1 emerge --sync and try again, there was a -r2 (stable) and -r3 (~testing) added early today to ensure this issue doesn't come up.

If interested in the explanation, portage has dynamic-deps system enabled by default. This allows it to see ebuild dependency changes without a rebuild by looking at the tree. xorg-server -r1 received such dep change first that allowed new nvidia-drivers to install However, dynamic-deps is unreliable and doesn't work in every situation.. so it received a revbump to fix this instead. But now xorg-server -r1 is gone from the tree, and the previous dynamic-deps is no longer visible (can't see what's gone). So it doesn't work anymore. Either way, once updated this will go away permanently.
I can confirm that x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.10-r3 fixed the problem.
