Under other Linux distributions, these rcX.d directories are the 
locations for several startup scripts (for runlevel X). Under Gentoo, 
there are no such numbered runlevels, but named runlevels (for 
example "default").

So Gentoo's startup scripts are located unter 
/etc/runlevels/<runlevel>, which are symlinks to the scripts itself 
under /etc/init.d/<script>.

So if a program asks you for those runlevels, you have to give a) the 
directory /etc/runlevels/<runlevel>, b) /etc/init.d or c) create 
directories under /etc/rcX.d, maybe with symlinks to 
/etc/init.d/<script> as well.

HTH, Matthias

ps: if you're using VMWare, then you only have to emerge it IIRC, the 
ebuild sets up these directories itself ... or was it the config. 
script?
