Don't worry about the localhost name - it works in addition to your
FQDN. So you can just set

HOSTNAME="arrakis"

in /etc/conf.d/hostname and

OVERRIDE=1
DNSDOMAIN="doesntexist.org"

in /etc/conf.d/domainname (or use /etc/conf.d/net, like the gentoo-wiki
says) and the IP address and FQDN in resolv.conf:

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.1.2	arrakis.doesntexist.org
# or whatever private IP your host has

Regars...
