Well its done, I must say its not all that fantastic just yet. When I installed my username didnt take and so when I rebooted I was left without a way to login, because gentoo seems to disables the root user login through kdm or whatever. Luckily I managed to create a new user by going back into a console login.
All in all it took a bit over two and a half days, but I think that if I hadnt emerged kde it would have taken a sigificantly shorter period.

Theres Sabayon, which is based on Gentoo but it has KDE on the liveCD so you don't have to compile it.

I've yet to manage a successful install of Gentoo! I've tried around 4 times ... every time I get Installation Failed!
Way Too Much Ubuntu
When I was new to linux less than a year ago I did a good job probably but when it was compiling I thought it went into an endless loop and something was wrong so I shutdown manually. All the compiling text scrolling across the screen, I thought something was wrong.

Saying it failed doesn't help, but posting the first error message can help in finding out what went wrong.

Right there with you. Something always seems to go wrong...ah well, Sabayon is sweet.
Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
Three years ago on a Pentium 3 800 MHz with 192MB of RAM, about three days to a full KDE system on first try. The documentation was so good you could hardly mess up, but maybe that has changed over the years. Either way I learned little from it and basically was back to using Windows within weeks...
