I'd suggest you do three things:
First, try another guest image to make sure that works - particularly if
it might fulfill your needs. There's no point spending time fixing this
image if that's the case.
If not, then loopback mount the filesystem and have a look at the script
that's failing. Maybe try disabling it and see what happens. I think
you need to understand more about what the error is before you can fix
it.
Finally, if you do need to disable udev, have a look at this page so you
know how udev works on Gentoo:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml
Then remove all the packages *from the guest* that page tells you to
install, and run the following command to make the device nodes.
chroot /path/to/mounted/guest /bin/sh -c 'cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV ubd'
Make sure you aren't just creating these devices on the host, they're no
use there. When you run the guest again, run it with devfs=nomount on
the command line, just to make sure devfs doesn't start.
