I have emerge php apache both. I wanted to use mod_php for apache in GENTOO OS.

I found a blog and I followed his instruction and it works ! I'm sharing the solution Referenced Blog

I put these lines in /etc/make.conf:

USE="apache2 mysql php pam ssl xml xml2 berkdb innodb jpeg png"

If you want to install also phpmyadmin, then you should also add pcre session unicode:

USE="apache2 mysql php pam ssl xml xml2 berkdb innodb jpeg png pcre session unicode"

I then changed the file /etc/init.d/apache2, in order to enable public_html folders for users (corresponding to the ~ directory), setting -D USERDIR:

APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5 -D USERDIR

Before starting mysql, you must create (once and for all) the mysql main database, and this can be done simply by running:

/usr/bin/mysql_install_db
