Hi,
you can install the gentoo linux-dist in parallel to the default linux-base. Gentoo will be in /usr/local, not in /compat/linux. As such you have to manually start programs there via chroot. This means you do not have access to you FreeBSD files like normally, except you do null-mounts into the gentoo area. It also means your experience will not be as "integrated" as with the defaut linux-base (the linux-base port does some effort to integrate FreeBSD config files and installed resources like fonts).
Just switching between them, like changing a symlink, is theoretically possible, but the gentoo linux-dist port is not designed for this kind of integration. It's a linux-"dist" port, not a linux-"base" port.
What is it good for, then?
