Have you tried

"emerge -pv hotplug"

To see if it is installed?  On my gentoo install it was not there by 
default.  From what I gather the 0.4.2 release relies on it, where 0.4.1 
and below did not.  Once you know you have it, run:

"/etc/init.d/hotplug start"

Then add it to the default runtime so it starts on every boot.

"rc-update add hotplug default"

now try re-loading the ivtv driver.  Good luck.
