I'm a bit late on this but, 

by experience (I did it for work a few months ago), creating an eeepc
specific gentoo chroot/squashfs is no more than 3 days worth of work
with a dual p4 @3ghz (1 week if you're not so familiar with gentoo
maybe) so I don't see anything challenging here. Working on enhancing
stage builder or stage4 generation (or whatever you name it) would be
more interesting for the project as a whole and require much more time
which would probably satisfy GSoC objectives.
