You probably need to re-emerge x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse

You should have a line that looks something like this in your 
/etc/make.conf file:


INPUT_DEVICES=keyboard mouse

Since you use a trackball it may not be mouse but something else.  
That's something to check at least.  You may want to post the output of 
emerge --info too, just in case.
