You shouldn't have any downtime during the bootstrap/compilation (depends on which stage you choose). If things go well, the only downtime expected is when you need to physically remove the smaller harddrive, and rewire stuff. Take a look at this guide here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/altinstall.xml, the "Installing Gentoo from an existing Linux distribution" section could be helpful.
