I suggest you try first on virtual environment before breaking anything
- virtualbox for example...

For creating 32bit gentoo on 64bit debian use /usr/bin/linux32 before
you chroot to gentoo stage root.

So the plan I see is:

1. create gentoo on server (linux32, chroot, compile, emerge -e world,
etc). You can always recompile world with another set of CFLAGS if you
have different machine, so set CGLAGS for generic 686
2. create experimental environment with debian and compiled gentoo in
virtualbox
3. learn about problems (bios, grub, grub2, backup copies)
4. do it :)

good luck
