The error I was getting (because of the gawk problem) was slightly different. It said somethinglike "Looks like you kernel is not configured with DEVFS support... hit enter to continue" And when I hit enter... I would boot in to the login prompt, xserver would not start due to devfs problems (more like rc script and gawk problems) but I would get console login prompt. You should also be getting that. If not then I think you problem might be different(or maybe just a variant of this) If you can boot in.... then just run emerge /usr/portage/sys-apps/gawk/gawk-3.1.1-r1.ebuild to revert back to the good gawk. Hope this helps.
