Check dmesg after boot and verify that the usb controller is indeed
being recognized.
$ dmesg | more
Run lsmod after boot to verify that the kernel modules are being loaded
correctly.

IIRC, mknod is part of the standard file utilities and MAY be under
/sbin or /usr/sbin. Check you $PATH variable.
$ echo $PATH
$ ls /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin | grep mk
If you still can't find mknod, try:
$ emerge fileutils
If all else fails, mknod is part of the GNU fileutils package:
http://www.gnu.org/software/fileutils/
You could always check the gentoo forums which are fully searchable. A
search for usb and mouse elicits quite a few results (select "search for
all terms"):
