The jre to use is determined by the script java-home (usually in
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/bin, not sure about gentoo and/or your $PREFIX).
IIRC only openjdk 1.7.0 is supported. If you look at this script, you see
that if you put in its directory a script called java-home.local it will
be called instead, thus letting you override that. Just add there a script
outputting the JAVA_HOME you want and retry.

Best,
