I built an arduino dev environment on gentoo not too long ago, and the
only real complication was finding a the right combination of cross
compiled libc/gcc/other libs that the arduino was happy with.  When
not compiling for the arduino, I also have an arduino powered makerbot
3d printer which sometimes benefits from the standard arduino tools
and which works perfectly with gentoo.

What issues are you having?

There is a very helpful arduino channel on freenode irc that could
probably help you solve most issues.

In any case, I have the following installed here:
