If there is no policy package installed and there is not one in the tree, you are on your own until one is written. I would double check to ensure one exists because: 1) To the best of my knowledge, there are logging policies available, and 2) policy packages tend to be missing from DEPENDS/RDEPENDS for things in the tree on SELinux profiles. As for where is best to ask, I would recommend #gentoo-hardened for this type of question. If you have a very detailed question it is likely you will get a better response on the mailing list though most of the frequent/knowledgeable posters idle in the aforementioned IRC channel. The SELinux portion of the Gentoo Project's wiki has received a lot of development by Swift(?). I would strongly recommend reading it. It will show you the discrepancies between RedHat SELinux administration and Gentoo SELinux administration (nothing is different except everything).
