Anyone know if there's anything we could do to encourage Oracle to
support Gentoo as an install platform?

Having spent the last month trying to put together a reasonably
minimalistic install of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for an Oracle project, let
me tell you that while they might fix bugs quickly, working with it is a
pain in the ass, particularly compared to the simplicity and flexibility
that is Gentoo. (you have to love wanting to install package A, which has a
dependency on package B you don't even care about, but can't get rid of,
and that dependency cascades into a dozen more packages you want nothing to
do with that have to install just to get package A <sigh>...)
I second this, I just finished a rather larger (highly dependency
driven) RHEL oracle install and it just re-enforced to me how much
gentoo is just plain awesome. There is really no other way to describe
it.
$gentoo++;
Thanks guys!
