I see you are doing this from the liveCD, that will not work, you have to chroot into your Gentoo installation to emerge anything:
Code:

mount /dev/[gentoo-drive] /mnt/gentoo
cd /mnt/gentoo
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
env-update
emerge grub

add second line:
Code:
mount /dev/[gentoo-boot-partition] /mnt/gentoo/boot

if you made a separate boot partition
