How does Gentoo compare against say, NetBSD?

Not sure what to answer... Gentoo is typically Linux, how well does Linux compare against NetBSD? :)  The core of Gentoo, portage, can also be used as altenative packagemanager for NetBSD. I find it much easier to build packages with Gentoo portage than with NetBSD pkgsrc.

In NetBSD:

Code: [Select]
setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
cvs checkout -P -rnetbsd-5 src
cd src
mkdir obj
./build.sh -m amiga -O obj tools
./build.sh -m amiga -O obj release


(this works on BSDs, most GNU/Linux distros and many other POSIX systems, not just NetBSD)

I'd love to hear how one does the same in Gentoo. GNU/Linux has gotten quite messy, so if Gentoo is different than that's great to hear.
