do I need to run dhcpcd to have the livecd get dhcp? it says probing for
dhcp without it using auto configure however that doesn't seem to work?

Is it detecting your network card?

Have you read the Gentoo Handbook, specifically the portion on
"net-setup"?  The LiveCD environment doesn't always setup ethernet
automatically.  Sometimes, it simply fails.

yes I've read it. I've been running gentoo for 3 years. I fixed it so it was
autoloading the module for the network card. initially I was missing that.
and like I said it says probing but it fails fo find anything. do I need to
use dhcpcd for a certain nic? like make sure it's starting net.eth0? on
startup? or is there a more dynamic way for it to grab dhcp for whatever nic
is connected?

usually means that your interface has already been configured.

check out the output of:

ifconfig -a
route -n

you're right. but this was on a fresh boot from the cd why would it give me
the error? was it trying to configure it again? I hadn't touched anything
yet.

Which CD? some livecd you created? your catalyst files would be helpful here :)
