Not sure, but I'll tell you how I'd find out. Obviously gentoo forum search for things like "dhcpd startup" and "dhcpd boot" would be first. Google and google's usenet archive are also wonderful resources.
Lastly, most things boot related are handled via runlevels, specifically in the /etc/init.d directory. If I look in there I see a script called net.eth0 and I recognize that eth0 is my network adapter. Paging through this script (using the programm "less") I see a comment that says:
#NB: Config is in /etc/conf.d/net
If I examine /etc/conf.d/net I see this little snippet:
# For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp"
# For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?
#
#iface_eth0="dhcp"
#dhcpcd_eth0="..."
I have no idea if that's right but it should be enough to get you started. |

you see that second to last line? remove the #(comment symbol) and then add net.eth0 to ur boot run level by using 'rc-update add net.eth0 default'
that should get ur card up and running..
take care |
