In cases like this I usually just put the "sleep" command in the init 
script like this:

...

case "$1" in
...

  restart|reload)
        stop
        sleep 5  <=====
        start
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;

...

I'm not a gentoo user, though, so YMMV.  I'm using RedHat/CentOS.  Still 
I'd bet the init scripts aren't that different.
