Good luck! :)
Actually, it's very difficult as Plesk relies both on knowing the
location of certain files (which gentoo doesn't always keep in the same
place as other distributions - apache2 being an example) and the
installation of some of it's own utilities and programs (all of which
come in RPM format).
While it is (in the long run) possible to setup Plesk on a gentoo
server, it's not supported by Plesk and it's not as simple as just
downloading the RPMs and running an ebuild. AFAIK, no-one has a
successful installation!
I would like to try myself, but our company has too much on the go at
the moment and I can't spare the time to try. Good luck though.
(BTW, I use CentOS 4.1 - although ur better with 3.4, as it's a bitch to
get the dependencies correct on 4.1 and upgrades are difficult.)

"A study done in the Des Moines public schools showed that the
average high school student hears anti-gay comments like 'dyke' and
'faggot' a stunning 26 times a day, and that teachers who witness
such incidents do nothing a shocking 97 percent of the time. The
results of this kind of behavior for gay and lesbian students is
terrifying."
