The official method is to build busybox with the "mdev" USE flag. That
is the only way that virtual/dev-manager recognizes it, and doesn't try
to pull in udev, instead. From the ebuild...
RDEPEND="|| (
sys-fs/udev
sys-apps/busybox[mdev]
sys-fs/devfsd
sys-fs/static-dev
sys-freebsd/freebsd-sbin
)"

TOOT!!! (blowing my own horn). See http://www.waltdnes.org/mdev/ for
instructions on replacing udev with mdev for simple Gentoo systems.
Hopefully more info will start arriving, allowing more complex systems
to work with mdev.
