Have you installed hotplug? iirc, it's still required to load up the likes
of USB peripherals you state.
# esearch ^hotplug$
* sys-apps/hotplug
Available versions: 20030805-r2 20030805-r3 20040105 20040401

Humm....OK - I thought that both hotplug and coldplug were depreciated
by udev. I see that I can emerge hotplug but it tells me to use
coldplug. When I try to emerge coldplug it's blocked by udev.
I emerged hotplug and started it but it still doesn't do anything with
lsusb and the keyboard itself doesn't do anything on the system yet.

I really suspect the issue here is that the system - maybe udev? -
doesn't know these devices are keyboard and mouse.
