wget 
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/build/1.2/gentoo-i686-1.2.iso
 (100+Mb)

It contains a pre-built i686 base system (stage3-i686-1.2.tbz2) and
semi-built i686 base system (stage2-i686-1.2.tbz2) in a tarball.

But they also provide a pre-compiled base to bootstrap the installation.
See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/build.html
