xenstored and xenconsoled are provided by the xencommons script, which
you state below you don't have.

You should have /etc/init.d/xencommons or Gentoo must provide you with
some equivalent (I don't know enough about Gentoo to know)

I think that is sufficient.

You need to make sure you have the relevant backend drivers available
(especially netback and blkback). It's up to you if you want to make
them =y or if you want to use =m and arrange for them to be loaded on
boot using whatever mechanism Gentoo provides for this.

I think it would be useful if you posted your actual kernel
configuration.
