Isn't it at the "Character Devices"?
I am not at my machine right now, but I remember it there...

Just a thought, I was able to use the manual configuration for
framebuffer use, and then decided to try genkernel, I must admit it is
so easy to use I'm not switching for a long time. Following the
instructions at the Installation Manual, copied the config.gz with
zcat, used it as configuration and:

emerge splashutils
genkernel --install --gensplash=yourtheme all
