Last fall I installed a K6 200MHz amd system with
256 M of ram from a 2005 cd. It took a couple of days
to compile everything, but the stage one install was 
successful and it's a firewall today.

My suggestions would be to stip the USE flags down to the
minimum you need.


Another avenue is to install gentoo-embedded for x86:
