I want to choose console or X from grub, so i'm thinking i'll do
something like 'rc-update delete xdm 4' and then pass softlevel=4 to my

way to do it?
Gentoo doesn't use those runlevels. You need to read this:
man rc-update
Gentoo comes with the following runlevels:
r...@smoker ~ # ls /etc/runlevels/
total 5
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 152 Jun 11 2008 .
drwxr-xr-x 81 root root 4832 Apr 18 00:16 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 368 Jun 11 2008 boot
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Apr 9 20:05 default
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 72 Jun 11 2008 nonetwork
r...@smoker ~ #
It generally boots to default. You can change that on the kernel boot
line but with one of the above instead of a 4 as you posted.
Post back if you get stumped along the way.
