What are some things that could mount swap that isn't /etc/fstab?
I found a github issue here that seemed to explain things.

Why does compiling packages in zram work, but not the Linux kernel?
Also, sys-block/zram-init::gentoo Scripts to support compressed swap devices or ramdisks with zRAM (https://github.com/vaeth/zram-init/)

Does Gentoo support zswap (openrc) as seen on fedora 33? I cannot find any explicit guidance in the handbook. I’m looking for disk backed zsawp not swap in zram. Is this only achievable with systemd?
IIRC zswap is zram used for swap, so as long as your kernel has zram support, you can use zswap. You can use zram with zramctl from util-linux. However, there is also the sys-block/zram-init package: it's a wrapper around zramctl which offers an openrc script to automatically create zram devices at boot. It also provides configuration for zswap. Configuration is in /etc/conf.d/zram-init.
