I'd suggest following all the steps except for the ones where you format the drives that have data on them that you need.
It took me like 3 readings of your question to understand what you meant, and I'm still not sure if I've got your meaning 100$, but I assume you are talking about following the installation steps as outlined in the Gentoo guides, and just want your root partition (i.e. "/") on a seperate virgin partition.

Use SENTENCES!
Are you asking of you can share your swap and boot partitions??? If so, then, yes, no problem there. |

Ummm... no... I wouldn't.... compile a new kernel for the love of all that's holy.... don't even try it.
As for the swap space.... it should be fine if they use the same partition.
