It's as simple as:

# required as of now to get Flash 9
echo 'net-www/netscape-flash  ~amd64' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -av netscape-flash

echo 'media-video/realplayer  nsplugin' >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge -av realplayer

echo 'net-www/nspluginwrapper ~amd64' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -av nspluginwrapper

Now I just need to figure out how to get sound when realplay is launched from Firefox (it works with the Flash plugin or when realplay is launched from a regular shell).

It took me a while to figure out what was going on, so I hope this can be useful to someone else...

In gentoo, you need to unmerge x11-misc/xkeyboard-config and emerge x11-misc/xkbdata instead. (I have xorg-x11 7.1)

Then your keyboard section in xorg.conf needs to look like this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "ch(fr)"
EndSection

fr_CH will not work. well, it sort of worked, but none of the AltGr combinations would work, regardless of what I tried with xmodmap, despite the keycode returned by xev being correct etc.
