Could you file a bug on this at bugs.gentoo.org?  Preferably with a config.log 
if possible, I think this may be a bug we saw before.  Also note which 
compiler you are using.

There are 2 modules you need to load.  soundcore first, then the dmasound_pmac 
module and you should be ok.

Also, the alsa drivers are problematic (from the vendor), other PPC distro 
people have had similar problems as well :(
