As far as I know, there isn't a date set to release the 1.4_final which will become 1.4. 1.4 was originally supposed to be released back in December :) 1.4rc4 is quite stable though, although I know that doesn't help with the precompiled stages problem you have :( Pretty much the options are wait until 1.4 final is released, use the precompiled stages for generic x86 in 1.4rc4 *or* you can use the 1.4rc2 stages and then update the system from there. 1.4rc2 has precompiled stages for athlon, athlon-mp, i586, i686, pentium3, and generic x86. You will need to do a lot of compiling to update it though I'm afraid since it's rc2 :(
Check out ftp://sunsite.ualberta.ca/pub/unix/Linux/gentoo/releases/1.4_rc2/x86 for the precompiled stages in rc2.
