Are you using a standard US keyboard? It should be on the same key as the ". Also, the ~ key has something simililar `. On my keyboard the ' key is right next to the enter key.'

I think you can boot the livecd with danish keyboard support.

Just type
Code:
gentoo lang=dk
at the boot prompt after you start your computer.

Also this page might be of interest to you.

Restarting in not necessary. Just load the keymap you need with "loadkeys" followed by a name of a keymap (/usr/share/keymaps).
Example:
Code:
loadkeys dk-latin1

(Exit chroot to do it and reenter afterwards.
