Below is a list of the commands I used to prepare a KVM virtual machine hosted on RHEL 6. It starts with preparing the virtual disk which in this case a an LVM Logical Volume:
On host that is preparing Gentoo "/" file system (not chroot):
1020 lvcreate -m 1 --mirrorlog mirrored -L10G -n vm_mediatomb-ROOT JD
1021 fdisk /dev/JD/vm_mediatomb-ROOT
1022 cfdisk /dev/JD/vm_mediatomb-ROOT
1023 kpartx -l /dev/JD/vm_mediatomb-ROOT
1024 kpartx -a /dev/JD/vm_mediatomb-ROOT
1025 mkfs.ext4 -L mediatomb-ROOT /dev/mapper/JD-vm_mediatomb--ROOT1
1027 cd /mnt
1028 mkdir mediatomb
1029 mount /dev/mapper/JD-vm_mediatomb--ROOT1 mediatomb
mkdir /root/tmp
cd /root/tmp
wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage3/stage3-amd64-20131226.tar.bz2
1030 cd /mnt/mediatomb/
1032 tar xvjpf /root/tmp/stage3-amd64-20131226.tar.bz2
1034 cd etc
1037 cp -L /etc/resolv.conf .

On Gentoo chroot environment:

I could not get Grub2 to install from the above chroot-ed environment as the running virtual machine is just too different from this. Therefore I used a Gentoo Installation ISO to start the VM and finish the Grub2 installation:
grub2-install /dev/vda
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
