Just so you know, it's possible to do a grub-install with just a minimal cd,
provided your existing gentoo environment works:
mount /dev/rootpart /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/bootpart /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update && source /etc/profile
grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
grub-install /dev/hda (or whatever your hdd is called)
