I used an iso from the experimental directory:


http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/experimental/ppc/livecd/livecd-ppc-281202.iso

I used this as the system image to boot into. You just have to burn the 
CD as a raw image file. The .tbz2 files are the stages that you make 
into your new gentoo system. You boot into the system on the LiveCD, 
partition your disks, make your filesystems, set up your network, and 
extract your stage tarball onto said filesystems. Then you are able to 
chroot into your baby system and (for stage1) bootstrap. The docs for 
1.2 are pretty much applicable, and much more in depth than I am :)
