I had a problem like this, using 4.1.14, it was working perfect, then, I modified the my.cnf file, added a few things and removed a lot of stuff there that was useless for me, heh, bad move, after that, the init.d script for mysql failed miserably and I was unable to cleanly start it, like you, I unmerged, removed the old config file and emerged it again, it was back, so this time I only put some stuff I really NEEDED and let the rest of the .cnf alone. It is working for about 1 month now completely flawless.
