I have a program that I use to create Gentoo VM appliances. I have no idea if it works with vbox or vmware as I run KVM, but I think it *should* work. Anyway if you want to try it you can or, if you want, it also builds stage4 tarballs, so I can build you a stage4 tarball of a base Gentoo install pretty easily (including kernel). The stage4 (excluding portage) would be ~90MB (bz2). The disk image (compressed QCOW is about 120MB).
