There is Gentoo-embedded project and a mailing list, you definitely want to check that out.
As for the cheap, low power platforms, these two companies have cheap and promising boxes: - Soekris: http://www.soekris.com/ - WRAP: http://www.pcengines.ch/ Linksys WRT54G is one of the of-the-shelf boxes that can be hacked with new software loads, too. I have no experience with Gentoo-based implementation (uclibc/busybox hardened kernel is a dream) on one of these boxes, sorry.
