I think you mean .xinitrc in the last sentence, and that is what I use.

In general the gentoo way is that there is _no_ configuration done over
and above what the upstream install process would do.  That is very
different from other distros and in particular from debian where a whole
intricate infrastructure exists to handle .Xsession for any imaginable
desktop and display manager.  Look at the Xsession script somewhere
under /etc/X11 on a debian box to see what I mean.

So the answer to that question and your other question with vnc (and I'm
sorry I don't have a direct answer, or I would give it to you, of
course) is to study the documentation for the upstream projects, and set
up your own intricate infrastructure if you need one.
