Well, i got totally confused, it seemed i couldn't for the life of me get 
~/.bashrc pulled in no matter what i did.

I put the following into ~/.bash_profile and it worked out fine. I'm wondering 
if that information sent out at the end of the ebuild is wrong, or if i'm 
just confused:

[[ -f /etc/bash_completion ]] && \
        source /etc/bash_completion

Thanks for the replies, and I'm interested if you think the info at the end of 
the ebuild was wrong. I'll paste it again here:

    einfo "Add the following to your ~/.bashrc to enable completion support."
    einfo "NOTE: to avoid things like Gentoo bug #98627, you should set 
aliases"
    einfo "after sourcing /etc/profile.d/bash-completion."
    einfo
    einfo "[[ -f /etc/profile.d/bash-completion ]] && \\ "
    einfo "    source /etc/profile.d/bash-completion"
