But I still get the error message in the CUPS error log.  Why would CUPS not work if gs is working from the command line?

Seems that your gs has not been compiled with respect to the propoer
library path;
perhapos gentoo has different ideas where to install binaries and stuff
that those need.

Set your GS_LIB variable in the /etc/init.d/cups startup file (or
whereever it
resides) and restart CUPS.
