You shouldn't need to do this, there are smarter ways to install even without a GUI on the candidate PC. Boot with a liveCD, start sshd if it is not running already, set a passwd and start a screen session.
Go to your main PC which has a GUI running, login remotely to the install candidate PC, re-attach the screen, chroot and off you go. This way you can use a browser to read the gentoo handbook and copy 'n paste commands from the browser into the terminal running screen.
