There is a way to install Gentoo so that it runs within Mac OS X. This install method is called "Gentoo Prefix".
There is a handy script you can use to install Gentoo Prefix on any Mac OS X machine. For this to work, you must have the XCode command-line tools installed, so that a compiler toolchain exists. The XCode command-line tools can be installed from the Apple Mac OS X install media.
Here's how you do it. As root (sudo su -), type:
The EPREFIX variable controls the install location. The default is ~/gentoo.
$ wget http://www.cs.stonybrook.edu/~ryao/prefix-install.sh && chmod u+x ./prefix-install.sh && env MAKEOPTS=-j5 ./prefix-install.sh
Bam!
Now, let's work on Funtoo Prefix :)
