In general, I have found portage is very hot and very tight.  

I have not installed Plone on Gentoo, but I have a few Gentoo boxen
around.  We could do an installfest if you want and find out if you
like what you see!

I did a quick search on bugzilla and did not find much:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/
I have found their forums to be a *really* valuable resource:
http://forums.gentoo.org/.  I found this little snippet dated April 16,
2005.. it looks simple.

After being frustrated for a little, here are the following steps to get
a plone site:

emerge -avb plone
zope-config

Then configure the new zope instance as zope-plone [accept the defaults,
create a login user and password for zope]. Then

zprod-manager add

And add all items presented, ignore errors of missing things and then
start zope

/etc/init.d/zope-plone start

Point your browser to http://localhost:8080 and click on the start using
ZMI, login then in the root ZMI and then Add->Plone Site

Voila a plone site.

Let me know how it goes,
