I don't use emerge or Gentoo, so I can't speak to that.  The driver
that an mceusb receiver needs to use is called "default".

You should be able to run:

  lircd --driver=list

to get a list of supported drivers for your compiled lircd.  You won't
see mceusb there, but you must see "default" if you want this to work.
 That's the driver you need to use.  If you don't see that, you'll
need to recompile with appropriate options to get that driver enabled.
