I doesn't boot OS X. That works for me... I would try the Gentoo install CD[1]. Boot from it, chroot into your setup and start experimenting with the bootstrap partition with mkofboot und ybin. This is pretty good documented in the Gentoo Handbook[2] Or, what is probably smarter, wait for someone with a more concrete idea of what is going wrong...
