No, can't do this with gentoo. The configure script isn't involved in this process at all. There is a lot of things going on behind the scenes here, after the make install is done to a special directory, you have to specify the files that go into the /etc tree and after its over, you get to specify which files you want to keep. The documentation is somewhat different, but must be specified, unless the names are a certain small number of default names.
