The ports tree infrastructure Do the Right Thing itself -- install current default and actively maintained linux base port. That's linux_base-fc4 for now. It is used to run almost all linux applications from ports. There are some exceptions though. The most noticeable is net/skype whic requires at least linux_base-fc6 port. But you will be warned when you try to install the former. There are some gentoo ports suitable for developing needs (i.e. those ports contain compiters, development tools, etc.).
