According to this linux.gentoo.user thread:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=1cujW-3g7-21%40gated-at.bofh.it&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dsu%2520gentoo%2520permission%2520denied.%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DN%26tab%3Dwg

Eric is right; the user needs to be in the "wheel" group to be able to 
use the su command.

Augie.
