Is this a new installation (i.e. did you have X working on this machine before 
the error appeared)?

Either way, have you defined keyboard in your make.conf:

INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard ....."

and if you just updated your xorg before this error occurred, have you 
remerged your keyboard driver?

x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard

Run qlist -I -C x11-drivers/ to see which X drivers you need to remerge.

HTH.
