Gentoo doesn't use those runlevels.  You need to read this:

man rc-update

Gentoo comes with the following runlevels:

root@smoker ~ # ls /etc/runlevels/
total 5
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root  152 Jun 11  2008 .
drwxr-xr-x 81 root root 4832 Apr 18 00:16 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  368 Jun 11  2008 boot
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  512 Apr  9 20:05 default
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root   72 Jun 11  2008 nonetwork
root@smoker ~ #

It generally boots to default.  You can change that on the kernel boot 
line but with one of the above instead of a 4 as you posted.

Post back if you get stumped along the way.
