If changing the init system is on the cards, it would be far better to go
for minit. 

http://www.fefe.de/minit/

It is as small as possible, does not require massive unaudited libraries,
programmed with security in mind, does not impose a language requirement -
it will work with shell scripts just fine, but encourages the use of just
simple sym links. It wouldn't be overly arduous to make it work with
gentoos current system. 

It can be linked against diet libc too, giving better performance and
reducing code bloat.
