Thanks to Nigel and enrique on the Gentoo mailing list, I solved this
problem. The problem was either that I had neglected to specify 
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC=y
or that I had the link /usr/src/linux pointing to the wrong directory
(Gentoo makes a link linux-beta when you install a 2.6 kernel) when I
installed hotplug, or both. Anyway, it works splendidly now. Thanks to
all.
