Rico-
Glad you've decided to join us
Okay, first things first, I've run into your problem before, and it's because windowmaker isn't emerged. Something gets messed up, and you've got to manually emerge windowmaker first in order for "magic wmaker" to work right.
If windowmaker isn't there, you're stuck at the black dos looking screen looking at a login prompt.
Fear not, you can get out of this without a keyboard!
You should still have a cursor, it's a tiny little rectangle. Use that rectangle to move to a letter, then hold down the Green 'A' button and tap the right direction on the D-pad until the WHOLE letter becomes inversed (selected), then press the red 'B' button.
This should paste your selection. So what you're going to do is copy the letters individually to spell "root". To enter a return carriage, highlight and copy a long line of blank space so that it touches the right part of the screen. Paste that "blank" space in, and it will work as pressing "enter." Next, you need to spell out "xbox". The thing to point out here is you can't see what you're pasting in, so it takes practice since it's masked. The password is also case sensitive, so make sure to use all lower case.
Once you've logged in, just copy and paste the letters to spell "reboot" then enter the line of blank space to "enter."
So if you ever log off of user Gentoox in KDE, you can also do this to safely exit the dos screen without corrupting your HD.
If you don't feel like going through all this, just reinstall Gentoox, and make sure to delete your old files first.

USB Adapters are getting pretty cheap now, I picked up 3 for 26 bux which included shipping
GentooX is prolly the best x-linux for people without a keyboard, but it really does get a whole lot better when you've got one
