Gentoo extends init's runlevel concept with its own concept, called
softlevels. You can create as many softlevels as you like/need.
Just create an new directory for your runlevel in /etc/runlevels, populate
it with the services you want to start in this runlevel (rc-update add
myservice myrunlevel) and update your bootloader config so that you can
select the desired runlevel at boot time, i.e. for grub you would add
"softlevel=myrunlevel" to the "kernel" line.
