Running 'make oldconfig' within the sources directory by default uses whatever config-x.y.z is the highest version available in /boot. Otherwise, copying the config file desired to the sources directory followed by running 'make oldconfig' will generate a new one based on the config file copied. You could than run the diff on the gentoo config file and the vanilla one and take it from there.
