A project to create embedded versions of Gentoo Linux has achieved preliminary releases on x86, MIPS, PPC, and ARM. The releases include native core system binaries, cross-platform toolchains, and, for x86, an optional hardened toolchain. The year-old project needs developers to help add cross-compile awareness to source packages.

Who ever said Portage was going to be included in the system? It's probably being used to convieniently build the system, but it's obviously not going to be included.
And please don't drag out the common misnomer that Gentoo has to be bleeding edge - there's no reason at all it can't be stable (the two aren't mutually exclusive anyway).
What it basically boils down to is that Gentoo is capable of being a highly automated LFS, which is going to save embedded developers a lot of time and effort compared to LFS itself.
