I would manually edit the existing booloader. I don't think you would need to chainload them. If it's grub you should be able to hit 'e' at the boot prompt to edit the line presented and boot FC4 from Gentoo's grub. The trick is to figure out what to tell grub, which you should be able to do based on where you put FC4.
