What rene says is correct, you will have to modify the Makefiles for

>> emulators/linux-c6
>> x11-toolkits/linux-c6-qt47-x11
>> graphics/linux-c6-glx-utils
>> net-im/skype4

directly. We are not in a position to support more than one
nvidia-driver, and abstracting it away so that you can modify it in
make.conf,
like you can for other things (think openssl vs libressl) . . . well, we
could do that, but no one here has the time to implement it.

Patches accepted :-)

Jumping in as maintainer of said Skype port:

It is not broken on 10.3-RELEASE or newer. Microsoft switched away from
alsa to pulseaudio, and this requires the new linux emulation we have
available in the new releases.
