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.

So, I am thinking of installing kiss.
Yes. The init scripts are written so as to be as init-agnostic as possible. See here to see what has specifically been tested. You'll need to either change what owns /sbin/init or, when configuring the kernel, change what executable it spawns as PID 1. Depending on what init you use, you may have to set up a service manager or gettys manually like this -- custom scripts are placed in /etc/rc.d with self-explanatory suffixes .boot, .pre.shutdown, or .post.shutdown.

Can i use Kiss normally without eudev and only mdev
See lines 35-50 for what udev and mdev do during boot.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing zram-init and init you can also consider the following projects:
log2ram - ramlog like for systemd (Put log into a ram folder)
dinit - Service monitoring / "init" system
ramroot - Load root file system to ram during boot.
community - Officially unofficial KISS community repository, mirror of https://codeberg.org/kiss-community/community
hmg - Personal Gentoo/Linux configurations
s6 - The s6 supervision suite.
