You need to make the partitions with an Apple disk. I prefer OSX's
partition manager
1. Boot OSX installer, partition in three:
1) Boot strap + swap + Gentoo space (format as "free space" or
something like that)
2) OS 9 space
3) OS X space
2. Once it's partitioned, you can install in any order you want.
n. Install Gentoo - The Gentoo installer will run you through splitting
up the free space into bootstrap/swap/disk space
Good luck!
