coming form Mac OSX,
and downloaded the ppc 32 bit installation and packages iso. of Gentoo 2006,

however, have a snag in the install, is there a how to install
on Mac G4 , running a quicksilver with 512mb and a 60gb hard drive,

This http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-ppc.xml might be
right for you although there are way more than 3 steps ;-)

The suggested method of using the OS X installer to partition the hard drive 
would wipe out your files.  You may want to back up your user directory 
first.
