Is there another option like installing some sort of rcX.d

The best option for your Gentoo users would be to install your init
script as /etc/$mypkg/init.d/$myinit, and have an additional
Gentoo/runscript compatible script that installs to /etc/init.d/ but
mainly just call the /etc/$mypkg/init.d/$myinit script. That would
allow us to continue to use our standard tools (rc-update) for
managing the init process, make sure you are compatible with parallel
startups, and so forth.
This should be fairly simple to create. Something like:
depend() {
need localmount
use logger net
}
start() {
test -x /etc/$mypkg/init.d/$myinit || \
eend 1 "myinit script not found. Aborting" || return 1
/etc/$mypkg/init.d/$myinit start
return $?
}
stop() {
/etc/$mypkg/init.d/$myinit stop
return $?
}
If your init script generates a bunch of output, you could optionally
add a function to process the output and make it look more like
Gentoo's standards. The current vmware init script may be a good
example of this.
