You need to...
1) emerge acl (and attr if you want to use extended user attributes)
2) recompile your kernel with the appropriate options for acl and/or 
attributes support enabled for ext2/3.
3) add mount options acl and user-xattr (or was it user_xattr) to your fstab 
for every filesystem where you want to use acl's.
4) reboot with the new kernel
5) use acl's
6) Be carefull about backup. Use star instead of tar (tar cannot backup 
acl's) and read the instructions for backing up the attributes (if you use 
them) on the ACL project home page.

HTH...
