I guess that's what you essentially do. Gentoo is booted off the LiveCD with a kernel of Gentoo's choice. However, during the install you have to run make menuconfig and specify what you want for kernel options. Then you run make dep && etc and when you are done you have your own kernel that will be used on your new system. There isn't much point in replacing the LiveCD kernel as it's only used to do the install. Your final system has YOUR kernel.
