I'm experiencing something similar at equally random intervals. I have had maybe 3 of these freezes since the end of December. I am reasonably sure it is not memory, since I have emerge -e world 3-4 times since then (don't ask) and I have never had any unreproducible gcc errors. At one time I had a routine that helped me replicate the problem (now I just avoid it): Go to forums.gentoo.org, grab a thread with massive posts. Click-drag a link quickly in circles. Boom! The last freeze I had was last week, when I had 10 Konqueror windows open with on average 3 tabs each. Rtorrent was running in the background and suddenly my system deadlocked. I could still move the mouse but I couldn't click on anything. I suspect that if I could bother to write down the magic SYSRQ keys, I would be able to do a clean reboot. The program I suspect is Konqueror (probably bad interaction with fglrx), since that is always open. I also always have Kmail, Konversation, Akregator, AmaroK, rtorrent and Kate running, though.
