As we speak, a 32bit-userland stage4 tarball is working its way through the Gentoo mirrors. The stage4 contains a ready to go operating system and kernel for the PS3 along with X and the fluxbox window manager. The instructions for installing from a stage4 can be found on the Cell wiki at:

Special thanks to the OSUOSL crew! They have provided us with space to host our GRP packages. This means that after you complete your stage4 install, you will be able to add-on things like Gnome, GAIM, audacious, KDE, etc without having to actually compile the packages. Packages for these applications have already been posted and I will continue to add new ones as they turn up or people request them. Instructions for installing from this GRP repository will be posted at the aforementioned URL when I complete this entry.

The 64bit-userland is still a work in progress but it is IN progress. I'll post when the tarball and 64bit GRP are ready as well. In the meantime, give it a whirl and give us feedback.
