What is wrong with compiling your system under chroot in a fast box and then rsync -a it to your slower machine? I have also tarred whole system and transferred them to slower machines.. all ok You basically untar the stagex file to a dir on the fast machine, set the compile flags in /etc/make.conf so it is a pentium, bootstrap it, emerge whatever you want and even configure the whole thing, then chroot out of the dir, either use rsync -a to copy the system dir to the / of the slow machine, or use tar to create a tarball or tar it over the network.
