If you've chose Gentoo, I take it you're familiar with patches and 
compiling your own kernel.

The current pathway is Ingo Molnar's realtime-preempt patches for the 
current kernel (2.6.15) and realtime-lsm to allow regular users to 
access realtime priorities.

The realtime patches: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/

realtime-lsm info: http://tapas.affenbande.org/?page_id=21

The patches themselves: http://sourceforge.net/projects/realtime-lsm/
