So far this setup has been a little tricky. In kernel support for the Wireless device comes with 2.6.27, so I prepared a LiveUSB with the install ISO and some of the bare necessary packages like, gentoo-sources-2.6.27, reiserfsprogs, dhcpcd and grub oh and of course a stage3 and portage snapshot.

Once I had got that all configured up I attempted to use distcc but kept on getting errors. So I did the normal emerge -uD world once booted and with net connectivity and over night I left xorg-x11 compiling. It took:

real    110m59.439s
user    72m10.081s
sys     25m20.474s

Which I don’t think is that bad for a tiny 900Mhz machine

(If I get time I will post up my kernel configs for others.)
