I did it last week. in some place untar che last stage3-xxx
mount --bind proc, dev, usr/portage, passwd, group ecc copy inside current make.conf, make.profile chroot inside the new stage. when finish i make a big tar of everyone in the new chroot. reboot with live cd, move all my old system in /old, untar the new system on the rootfs. if something is missing in the new system , you have the original file of configuration in /old P.S. sometime i make something like stage4 from livecd and i store it in a USB HD. If something is going wrong, in 20 min i can restore all my system.
