Thing about Gentoo (which I love), is it is very flexible.

In this case I am sure you will be delighted to know that you
can do:

# cd /etc/conf.d
# cat * > basic

---- OR ----

# cd /etc/conf.d
# cat * > /etc/rc.conf

Breaking things up, just generally helps with the packaging,
but you can still only use /etc/rc.conf, or /etc/conf.d/basic
for any of your rc-script config needs.
