One cautionary note, if you have a low bandwidth internet connection then you want to store /usr/portage on a single machine and then mount it via the other machines so the distribution files for applications can be cached. Actually its a good idea regardless, but if your stuck on something like ISDN like me, its critical.
Would I recommend it for someone who is just using it for mythtv? No, gentoo takes a fair amount of effort to fully learn, and its probably not worth it just for mythtv.

Downside is compiling everything manually takes forever.
