You probably want to read this:
http://www.libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#state_machine_and_low_level_event_api
and this:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-May/msg00003.html
The choices are:
(1) Port febootstrap + yum to Gentoo (not so hard).
(2) Change libguestfs to use portage. (This was already done for the
Debian/debootstrap combo).
(3) Use the binary blobs from another machine, but note that we no
longer build full appliances in the Fedora RPMs.
