There has been talks about mentioning systemd as an option in the handbook, but nothing is written yet. When GNOME 3.8 goes stable, the GNOME team will have an upgrade howto document (as they have always done), but said document isn't available yet. I thought the wiki had more or less the basics right, but Allan made me notice that it doesn't even mention consolekit, so that's also incomplete. Since I deprecated the gentoo-systemd-only overlay, I've been thinking about writing guides for installing Gentoo with systemd as init system, and migrating to systemd; but I haven't gotten the time. I would recommend to install the base system (without GNOME), migrating to systemd (which should be relatively easy without GNOME), and then installing GNOME. If you do it when GNOME 3.8 is stable, it should be even easier. If you do it, please let us know how it went.
