this is being taken care of currently.
the plan is to offer a liveCD installer that can do Darwin x86 & Darwin
PPC. That way you can gentoo with different kernels.
i've a couple friends with ibooks that love gnu/linux but would perfer to
be running apple written device drivers on an apple kernel - darwin is
that.
so a friend of mine is currently working on the bootstrapping process. as
we go forward with this effort there will be ebuilds for the darwin kernel
(offical and stable ebuilds will be based on whatever cvs versions that
apple hand picks for OS X releases. So, expect to see kernel updates based
on apple releases) we'll also offer cvs ebuilds [again, see the developer
policies about ebuild and cvs stuff] and then we'll start working the
entire 3 versions of X for OS X/Darwin.
