You mean as in compile a bunch of stuff on a Gentoo host, write the binaries to say /var/chroot/my-new-distro, chroot into it for testing, then write the whole lot to an install media? Sounds pretty much like how most binary distros are built. In which case you define ROOT=<whatever> and let rip. I would create a small -meta ebuild and put it in $PORTDIR/local/. It sets ROOT, and DEPENDS on everything you want in the binary distro.
