Yes, I did it at the beginning of the year, it was more or less
painfree. There were a couple of compile failures with stable packages
when rebuilding the world, but typically these are already fixed and in
bugzilla, so you can go ahead by installing the ~x86 package. (See
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245160 for a tracker of the packages)
I did not notice any difference in using the system everyday, I did it
only because I can use -march=core2 now and I wanted to work with the
newer gcc when programming other things.
You should follow the upgrade guide for maximal pleasure:

hope to help

The fundamental theorem of algebra is open source. Like any other
mathematical theorem it can be applied free of charge and everybody
has access to its proof and can convince himself how it works. Why
should software be any different?
