You might want to have a read of the rc-scripts guide: 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rc-scripts.xml

Gentoo uses virtual runlevels -- have a look in /etc/runlevels/

What I think you want to do is something like this:

bacuhec # mkdir /etc/runlevels/gui
bacuhec # cp -P /etc/runlevels/default/* /etc/runlevels/gui/
bacuhec # rc-update add xdm gui
 * xdm added to runlevel gui
 * Caching service dependencies...                           [ ok ]
 * rc-update complete.

And then to change to the gui runlevel type:

bacuhec # rc gui

and back:

bacuhec # rc default

To make init 4 work, go to /etc/inittab and change the line:

4:4:wait:/sbin/rc default

to

4:4:wait:/sbin/rc gui

and you can then use `init 4' and such to change runlevel.
