I am running Gentoo sources 2.4.25-gentoo-r2 and ran into the same 
problem.  This is how my kernel is setup and IVTV works fine:

 <M> I2C support                                            
 <M> I2C bit-banging interfaces                                 
 <  >     Philips style parallel port adapter                     
 <  >     ELV adapter                                            
 <  >     Velleman K8000 adapter                                   
 <  >     NatSemi SCx200 ACCESS.bus                                  
 <  >  I2C PCF 8584 interfaces                                    
<M> I2C device interface                                 
 <  > I2C /proc interface (required for hardware sensors)
