I am not sure whether init and/or who are part of openrc -- but it is worth noting that "who -b" which is supposed to produce the system boot time still appears to be broken. I believe I filed a bug report about this around the time of the late 2008 or early 2009 updates to openrc and I believe the developer acknowledged that it was a bug. One can easily run a strace on "who -b" to see the files it is accessing and presumably this is a bug in the current init (or perhaps in Linux itself) that it is not writing a boot record into /var/tmp/utmp (for that is the file that who -b seems to open and attempt to read a boot-time record from).
uptime can substitute for who -b -- but the who -b result was more easily processed into forms that could be used to delete unused temporary files (which tend to be a common problem on gentoo systems where the reboots may not always be clean.
