I don't know why. I think this is a bug or an ebuild problem, because
it is actually
strange not having that initscript.
These are the related files which are installed:
/etc/conf.d/xenconsoled
/etc/conf.d/xendomains
/etc/conf.d/xenstored
/etc/default/xencommons
/etc/default/xendomains
/etc/init.d/xenconsoled
/etc/init.d/xendomains
/etc/init.d/xenstored
Could I insert the xencommons initscript by hand? Do you think it
could be something
safe to do?

I don't think there is something equivalent; maybe it's the case to
open a bug report
on bugs.gentoo.org.

I have both as y, so no problem for that.

Sure. Here we go: http://pastebin.com/HC9Lsfjw
Maybe it is not really optimized but I tried to do it as much as possible for
my ability.

For instance, this is the config file I use to start the Gentoo VM
(which was working
very well with the XM toolstack:
kernel = "/mnt/data/xen/kernel/vmlinuz-xen-3.0.4-domU"
memory = "512"
name = "gentoo-10.0-x86_64"
vif = ['bridge=xenbr0']
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = ['file:/mnt/data/xen/vmstore/gentoo-10.0/gentoo-10.0.x86-64.img,xvda1,w',
'file:/mnt/data/xen/vmstore/gentoo-10.0/swap.img,xvda2,w']
root = "/dev/xvda1 ro"
vcpus = 2
extra = 'console=hvc0 xencons=tty'
ip = "off"

I have
/usr/bin/qemu-img-xen
/usr/bin/qemu-nbd-xen
/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm
/usr/share/xen/qemu
but not qemu-xen (I don't know what package to install for that)
and there is no package named qemu-xen in portage.
Maybe that qemu-xen is called qemu-dm on Gentoo.
