Try adding mkxf86config into your livecd-stage1 spec file.  You will
then want to add a livecd/rcadd: mkxf86config line to your
livecd-stage2.  You will want to unmask the -r3 version in your snapshot
for it to work properly with xorg-x11.  If you want accelerated 3D, you
might want to unmask livecd-tools-1.0.5 from package.mask and also make
sure to add nvidia-kernel, nvidia-glx, and ati-drivers to your
boot/kernel/$kernel_name/packages lines in your livecd-stage2.

The only way to know is to experiment.  There is no hard and fast rules
for this, unfortunately.  It's pretty simple to guess that examples and
documentation can go.
