No. As long as SUSE supports the file system on /home you're using in
Gentoo it will work fine, and that's very likely. When you're booted
into SUSE, run cat /proc/filesystems to see what it supports. If your
Gentoo /home file system is not there, you may need to load the
module, eg. on this system;
# grep ext /proc/filesystems
ext2
ext4
# modprobe ext3
# grep ext /proc/filesystems
ext2
ext4
ext3
