I think the gentoo default apache configuration doesn't allow users ExecCGI. You need 
to find the section in commonapache.conf titled <Directory 
/home/*/public_html/cgi-bin> and uncomment as required (or indeed, set another 
directory with ExecCGI permissions).

I take it your apache serves you regular html documents from ~/public_html/?
