I am not a gentoo expert. I'm not using gentoo for mythtv, but for 
testing audio development. Doesn't gentoo use udev now? I unmerged 
coldplug so I could get the latest udev update. Mark K. on this list 
uses gentoo for mythtv, he would know. sorry for not knowing more, but 
you might look into the udev usage.
