Gentoo Prefix project allows you to install Gentoo Portage to eg. Darwin (MacOSX), Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and much more.
So, it would be relatively easy to port Gentoo to whatever micro-kernel, if there was enough demand for something like that. The Package Manager, Portage, allows you to do exactly that.
