After booting from gentoo minimal livecd, chrooting into my hard drive, re-emerging grub:0 (just in case it has to be built against my latest kernel) and then running grub and doing: root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) it booted normally again. I guess I failed to reinstall grub like this after a portage update at some point... logs show I last instlaled it in May, and have rebooted since then without problem, maybe it was something else. Weird. :)
