Then create a tarball from it. You could call this tarball a stage4
tarball, because it is a complete system (compared to a stage3 tarball).
To create the tarball, leave the chroot an run something like this:
tar -cjvpf /stage4.tar.bz2 /path/to/your/chroot
Boot your old machine with a gentoo live cd and create partitions
(follow the gentoo handbook to chapter 4) and copy your tarball to it.
After unpacking the tarball, your system is nearly finished. All you
need to do is to install grub (or your personal choice of bootloader)
and that's it.
Thanks a lot, that's more or less what I thought to do.
I hoped for some integrated solution that attached some kind of nice
installer, but no problem.
For this method you do not need a special install medium. But you have
to find a way to copy the tarball to your system.

Yes, this is quite boring, since I wouldn't like to rely on
network/double drive. Wouldn't it be possible to use a multisession
cd/dvd with the gentoo cd in the first session and the tarball in the
second (or editing the gentoo cd ISO)?
