Assuming your dom0 is also Gentoo try the following in your 
/etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0="null"
dns_domain_eth0="example.com"
dns_servers_eth0="dnsip1 dnsip2"
dns_search_eth0="example.com search.com"
routes_eth0=""

bridge_breth0="eth0"
config_breth0="dom0ip/netmask"
brctl_breth0="setfd 0
              sethello 10
              stp off"
routes_breth0="default via gatewayip"
rc_net_need_breth0="net.eth0"

Create suitable links in /etc/init.d from net.lo to net.eth0 and 
net.breth0 then rc-update to add them to the default runlevel.
rc-update add net.eth0 default
rc-update add net.breth0 default

You could probably consolidate the dns settings to the bridge 
configuration.
In my guest configuration file I have:
vif = [ 'bridge=breth0' ]
