I've used the binary version (google-chrome) for a while and never
had any breakages. I guess if there's a library update that could
potentially break google-chrome the gentoo devs would add a blocker so
you wont be able to install the 2 at the same time.
I have since migrated to chromium (on account of getting a more
powerful processor). The chromium compile took a hell of a long time on
my old dual core. Even on my fx8150 it still takes about an hour.
