First a dual head agp card will be off to a good start.

or two pci video cards...

or a pci dual head card

or a agp and pci card though if you run any games on this it not

2 crts will also help

While I am not a big gentoo fan I do love there guides very well writen.

I suggest you read http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors it is a
great read on how to setup your config file.

By the way what distrobution are you using?
