What happens now when you press the power button?  What does your syslog
say?

First of all, you need an ATX motherboard.  (Any motherboard newer than
about 7/8 or so years ago).  Then you need ACPI compiled into your
kernel, as well as `emerge acpid`.

Finally, if it still doesn't work, post what you see from
tail -f /var/log/messages
or whatever your syslog is, when you press the power button.

post back if that doesn't work!
