On Gentoo, my machine comes up to runlevel 3 by default, i.e. just a command 
line. No KDE or Gnome.

However Mythbackend *is* running at this point. The command to have 
mythbackend running on Gentoo is

rc-update add Mythbackend default

This way the backend will come up on any reboots. Note that MySQL also needs 
to be up. This should be taken care of by the dependencies in the rc-script 
system.
