So I'm a little confused.

The guide deals with how to make X.Org use KMS. That does not mean
that KMS requires X. For your X-less machine, all you need to do is
enable the driver for your card in the kernel config, and make sure to
also enable KMS. You need to disable the VESA/uvesafb drivers to
avoid conflicts.
What graphics card do you have, btw?
The gentoo install is a guest (Virtual Box) vm hosted on win 7.
I don't think there's a KMS driver for VirtualBox (AFAIK, the kernel has
one only for VMWare.) So no need to investigate this further.
