tc & wondershaper

I've been trying to get wondershaper working, have all required queue stuff in my kernel (QoS and more), but I seem to be missing this program, 'tc' (stands for traffic control, I believe) to be able to use it.

Anyone here that can inform me what package I can find that in?

Your question is somehow unclear... what exactly doesn't work or what do you need?
In my opinion wondershaper is a very unflexible tool I sugest:
ADSL-Bandwidth-Management
-> http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/ADSL-Bandwidth-Management-HOWTO.html

or

DSL QoS Queue
http://www.sonicspike.net/software/#dsl_qos_queue

Both are more powerful regarding configuration to your own needs and also easy to setup.

Well...

I run wondershaper and I get this:

svarthol wondershaper-1.1a # ./wshaper
./wshaper: line 48: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 54: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 59: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 65: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 70: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 74: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 75: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 76: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 80: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 85: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 90: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 112: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 124: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 135: tc: command not found
./wshaper: line 140: tc: command not found

I have kernel 2.6.3 and compiled everything I could get my hands on in the QoS section.

So where should I get this 'tc' program... is it something I should get with the kernel or should I emerge something to get it to work..?

tc is part of the iproute ebuild. It is hard to find since the official site calls it iproute2.
