I have it and it works.

You need to emerge atitvout.
When you need the tvout make sure to boot with the tv plugged in.
Then if your resolution is above 1024x768, reduce it (i.e. xrandr -s 1024x768).
Execute
Code:

# atitvout -f t

to enable the tv (it disables the lcd).
Execute
Code:

# atitvout -f l

to disable tv and re-enable the lcd.
