Seems to be that GRUB2 auto detects Snow Leopard partitions. So you are right, installing Mac OS X, then windows, then Linux with Grub2:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/189079-grub2-as-the-only-boot-loader-its-possible/ But there is one more problem at the whole thing...... We can't have more then 4 primary partitions on a hard disk. Gentoo needs 2 partitions, /boot and a Virtual partition (that count's as well as one primary) with all the other folders. Windows will create 2. and Mac OSX minimum 1, am I right?!
