I'm very very new to Gentoo. I managed to squeak through a install
from the live CD, however, this gave me a kernel with little or no
ACPI support - I have a laptop, so I'd like to have this support
enabled.
However, I don't know how to rebuild the kernel, or do so enabling
ACPI support. I only know a few precious things about emerge, like
--sync, --search, and even --help, but beyond that I'm not that good
at all, and the man pages didn't offer much help for me.
There's a chapter on kernel config in Gentoo handbook:

If LiveCD kernel works for you,
you may use its config as a starting point for your custom kernel.
There's a couple of articles on Gentoo wiki which may be helpful:
