there is some work underway for Gentoo and NUT:newhidups/PSP
PSP need some changes to fully support that distribution.

Did you look at these links:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2663684.html
and most of all: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2663684.html

Your problem should be with the hotplug files, located in
nut/scripts/hotplug, that need to be installed for newhidups
to work. There are numerous threads on the upsusers list
on that subject, ie:

Note that you don't need step (3)
