I believe there is some setting in the sshd script that tells it only to start if X, Y and Z are running. If I recall correctly you need to either tell it that it doesn't need eth0 but can use wlan0 or eth1 or ra0 or whatever your wireless card is called. Alternatively there may be a way to make sure sshd doesnt try to start until after your wireless is up and running. Someone will likely chime in in a bit with a full and concise explanation but this may give you a starting point if you want to have a rummage. I don't have a Gentoo rig in front of me at the moment otherwise I'd have a poke around for you :).
