Looks like dhclient is trying to configure wifi0, which doesn't exist.
What if you configure your wireless connection with iwconfig
ex:
iwconfig ath0 essid MyESSID key 1234567890
(adding any other options needed)
then run
dhcpcd ath0
You can also try setting up the wireless configuration in gentoo
for /etc/conf.d/net or wireless and startup the network
with /etc/init.d/net.ath0
Here's a wiki explaining part of that process...
