Check out catalyst, it is the tool the devs use to build a cd. The .spec 
(config) files are in gentoo's cvs, and probably elsewhere as well. It takes a 
while to build a cd as it installs a system image and then builds the cd from 
that.

You'll need to change the .spec file to get it to build the packages you want. 

You should emerge catalyst with the dos USE flag to get the samples.

There are easier ways to make a custom boot cd, slax springs to mind: 
http://www.slax.org/ However that will not get you the gentoo install packages 
onto the cd. It should get you a bootable cd from which you can do the usual 
gentoo install from.
