Sorry but I have an objection to make: Even if you succeed on installing Libreboot with Gentoo, or even if you do buy one of Minifree's Libreboot to use with your copy of Gentoo, what makes you think that Gentoo is, by this situation eligible as "free"?
I and almost all free software activists have told you all various times here and also in IRC (both in #trisquel, #fsf, #gnu, #libreplanet, and so on and on): The fact that *you* are able to use a non-free system distribution only with free software doesn't qualify it as free. You can't, as a free software activist, recommend it to the general public, because if you do so, you're not applying the free software criteria[applying-fs-criteria], and are probably, making ruinous compromises[avoiding-ruinous-compromises]. You can recommend these non-free system distributions and use then if, and only if, for the purpose of developing a complete or partial substitute[good-thing-use-nonfree-program].
