I haven't tried it, but I don't see why the following shouldn't work:

   Edit /etc/rc.conf to have xfce4 in the XSESSION variable at the bottom
   # emerge sudo -av
   Edit /etc/init.d/local.start and add "sudo -H sudo -H -u tom startx"

There may be better/easier ways, but start would probably work :)
