Yeah, pretty much.  I don't use gnome but helped my roommate install
gnome on gentoo without reading that guide.  I think emerge bombed once
or twice and I had to fix things, but it wasn't super difficult.

That's the way I do it too, and will at least set up your display
hardware properly -- or should, it always does that part fine for me.
You might have to fix the mouse device though; it should
be /dev/input/mice most likely, not /dev/mouse as Xorg used to (still
does?) put in.  

You may also have to tweak to get desired resolution/refresh.
