a) download all the tarballs you'll need to a cd and copy them to the install
machine before you run the install.

b) chroot a section of a hard disc @work and do the install there.  then
somehow copy the whole system to the install box.

i've never done either, so i can't even vouch for the likelygood of success,
but i thought i'd throw in my 2cents.
well there's a couple ways i think you could do it.

Think that I might be able to give part a: a go, well will try it anyway.

Unfortunately I know noone that is running gentoo, as we are all debian people here as 
there is a mirror on campus.
Is there a place that I can download the portage tree from?

I will try to get someone with a spare machine to install gentoo on a partition so 
that I can make a copy though.
