Where did you get your copy of VirtualBox from?

Well then you are going to need to ask them how to make it work.
VirtualBox makes the source available and the various distros compile it to their installs. We have no way of knowing how they did the compile so please ask the Gentoo forum.
I suspect that you have something missing in your install (Gentoo). I have installed it a long time ago and it did work then, but things may have changed.
