I got around to setting up Gentoo on my powerbook this last weekend, and can give assistance if anyone is considering installing it on PPC. I haven't used it too extensively yet, I just got it installed and have XFree 4.3 up and running. It seems like everything is supported well including DRI for NVidia/ATI.

On a quick note: if you've installed the OS 10.2.8 upgrade or Panther, they contain a power management firmware upgrade which happens to break 2.4.22 and older kernels. You need the -benh kernel from penguinppc.org. I think this update has also caused an issue I'm having with OpenBSD relating to the system clock.
