I don't think you will have any problems running a custom kernel under gentoo, if you did the configuration of the kernel yourself, you shouldn't have any trouble there (that would be where I would expect most users having the trouble). You will need to read the docs for the portage system to find out how to tell portage you are doing the kernel yourself (although I suppose you can miss this out and just not compile and install the kernel sources provided by portage, and just continue with your own custom kernel (source from kernel.org and patched with speakup)). Also CVS isn't too much different to subversion (particularly if you are only using it as a user, rather than developer).
