You could always run Gentoo in a chroot jail, as detailed by some
really smart hacker in the Gentoo Forums:

I really need to update that sucker, as there is no longer any need to
loopback-mount /etc/init.d.

In fact, Mauro is planning to do a presentation on this at the next
TLUG meeting. His slides will be available afterwards, as well as a
video--or three ;)--of the event for those poor people who cannot be
there in person.

Cheers,

those cases. :)
