Your world file should do that for the Gentoo stuff, with limitations. It assumes you have nothing on the system that was created outside of normal portage/emerge. It would probably duplicate the latest kernel tree but wouldn't build it, and wouldn't copy old kernels that aren't in portage if you still have them on the system. It isn't going to get virtual environment, be they python or things like virtualbox if you use those.
I suspect you'll get a 'working' machine (I've done it) but you will still have a lot of stuff to transfer by hand or from backups which you really should do anyway.
