Any of the solutions I tried didn't work. So I believe this may be a bug specific to Plasma 5.21. I followed all instructions from the handbook to a T to try and avoid any errors on my part. - Elogind is installed and correctly added to the boot runlevel (and is currently running); - D-Bus is installed and correctly added to the default runlevel (currently running); - My user account is a member of the 'users' group; - Plasma was merged using the "plasma-meta" package as described in Gentoo's wiki, so as to avoid any missing packages (meaning Powerdevil and Upower are up and running); - "elogind" and "policykit" USE flags have been added to my make.conf file; - Tried restarting a few times, removed and readded elogind to the default runlevel and even tried re-emerging plasma-desktop, no go; - Shutting down or restarting the machine with loginctl in the terminal works as expected. Expected Behavior: Plasma App Launcher shows buttons for shutting down, suspending and restarting the machine. Actual Behavior: Area where those buttons would be present is blank, there is no way to shutdown, restart or suspend the computer from the App Launcher. Workaround: Machine has to be shut down from the command line.

Turns out it was indeed an error on my part. Sorry. I forgot to add the "pam" use flag when compiling elogind. Adding the above mentioned use flag and recompiling elogind fixed the issue.
IUSE=pam is in your global flags so one must really be wondering how messed up your package.use are.
