Basically what's happening is portage sees things that used to use the
old nvidia GL files still want them somehow, so it's keeping those files
around. Presumably, when packages like libreoffice are rebuilt, they
will link to the new files provided by nouveau, portage will pick this
up and release the old files.
For various reasons this doesn't always work out. Consumer apps are not
always diligent about how they seek libs to link to, and portage can't
deal with this.
There's a brute force method. All the nvidia files listed below are now
orphaned, so you should be able to delete them and let revdep-rebuild
fix anything remaining. You also have stuffs from emul-linux in there,
so I'd suggest this:
unmerge emul-linux-x86-opengl
delete orphaned files
revdep-rebuild and let it do what it wants
remerge emul-linux-x86-opengl back
Sometimes the portage preserved-rebuild magic doesn't have enough magic,
so you have to resort to the old manual ways. this looks like one of
those times
