Just a few minutes ago I got speakup working on gentoo after a boot into the new system! For as much difficulty as this was, I never figured I'd live long enough to have that happen. Once I got the kernel configuration and the other configuration steps you sent me, I emerged espeakup it didn't bring espeak then emerged alsa-utils and finally emerged portaudio then did a reboot. Usb speakers not yet working but headphone jack on top of machine and I'm pretty sure also in back of machine work. I can switch out speakers since the other pair runs on traditional jack and has a power pack to supply it.
