I just checked and ext2 option is there in menuconfig.  Here is the
options available:

  │ │                     <*> Second extended fs
support                                                              │ │
  │ │                     [ ]   Ext2 extended attributes
(NEW)                                                        │ │
  │ │                     [ ]   Ext2 execute in place support
(NEW)                                                   │ │


This is for Linux Kernel v2.6.30-gentoo-r5 which is what the OP posted. 
I'm not sure why the option would not be there for him when it is here. 
I don't recall ever seeing a kernel without ext2 and I been using Linux
for several years.

Me clueless.  :/
