As far as I know there is no fixed documentation for Gentoo. iptables is a set
of programs that can be used by a user with a lot of familarity however
helper programs are good.

Yes. If you want some helper programs I've found guarddog to be very good.
Although if you have a bit more complicated network try shorewall (text based
setup). I've heard some good reviews for fwbuilder too.
Note there is a /etc/init.d/iptables script that does save and restore
operations on your firewall. Just add it to the default runlevel ("rc-update
add iptables default")
Note for guarddog /etc/rc.firewall should be run on startup or any interface
ip change e.g dialup. I've just added mine to /etc/ppp/ip-up and configurd
/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 to not overwrite /etc/ppp/ip-up.
Good luck I hope this helps.
