Chiming in a bit late, but what you want to do would be totally feasible: I 
actually run gentoo with s6-linux-init (instead of sinit) and s6 (instead of 
daemontools-encore). As someone else said, the most troublesome part is writing 
service scripts for every service I need since none are provided by gentoo 
packages.

Have fun. :)
