It used to be part of the rc scripts.  I have this in my list, but my gentoo 
installation is rather old:

# rc-update -s -v | grep numlock
              numlock |


You could check if it is enabled on any runlevel and if yes, then 'rc-update 
delete numlock' should get rid of it.  Of course if it is not enabled then I 
would be also perplexed how we are supposed to manage it these days.
