+Gentoo
+======
+
+Early in July 2008, Bcfg2 was added to the Gentoo portage tree. So far
+it's only keyworded for ~x86, but we hope to see it soon in the amd64 and
+x64-solaris ports.  If you're using Gentoo on some other architecture, it
+should still work provided that you have a reasonably up to date Python;
+try adding `app-admin/bcfg2 ~*` to your `/etc/portage/package.keywords`
+file.
+
+If you don’t use portage to install Bcfg2, you’ll want to make sure you
+have all the prerequisites installed first. For a server, you’ll need:
+
+* ``app-admin/gamin`` or ``app-admin/fam``
+* ``dev-python/lxml``
+
+Clients will need at least:
+
+* ``app-portage/gentoolkit``
