Not just x86. I'd say Gentoo is probably the best option for any non-mainstream architecture, since it provides nice and friendly tools to build and maintain your own distro.

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.
