If you ever get into a situation where the gentoo scripts say that 
something is running and it is not, you can zap it:

/etc/init.d/mysql zap

That will force it to be in the stopped state.  That will enable you to 
debug the problem with mysql and be able to start it stop it (or zap it if 
it died).
