The handbook says that sys-kernel/installkernel-gentoo should be installed by default. [1] Just throw in my 2 cents, I use genkernel to manage compiling and installing the kernel. With a little configuring you can get it to compile, install and run grub-mkconfig for you. That way I can't forget to run grub-mkconfig or something.
