I managed to get something to happen. I emerged alsa-utils. I did 'alsactl store', edited the file /etc/asound.state to enable the joystick, and then 'alsactl restore'. I then did 'modprobe analog' and 'modprobe joydev'.
I get these lines in my dmesg but still no /dev/input/js0:
analog.c: 0 out of 0 reads (0%) on <NULL> failed input: Analog 3-axis 4-button joystick at <NULL> [TSC timer, 981 MHz clock, 1069 ns res]
What does this mean?
I believe the kernel modules should be loaded before starting alsa. Also, the joydev module should be loaded before the analog module. You might want to try these three in order:
modprobe -a joydev modprobe -a ns558 modprobe -a analog
If that doesn't help, check out this link for additional information.

That link is for a 2.4 kernel. I use a 2.6 kernel.
