First, gentoo has its own init.d script format: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4

Second, gentoo's package manager, portage, is probably preferred to downloading binaries or building from source. `emerge -q mongodb` may do it, and `emerge -q python` will definitely work because portage gets the stuff usually in the dev package in the main one. The disadvantage to this is gentoo will get all dependencies to there packages and then and build then from source. `emerge -j mongodb python` will attempt to compile them in parallel with jobs, and may speed up things a bit.
