Yes. But it's a little bit more manual work to set up the install
server. Get the fai-cd iso image. Extract the nfsroot from it and put
it on your Gentoo system. Inside the nfsroot you have to adjust the
files in /etc/fai. Then NFS export it and set up DCHP and TFTP so your
client can boot from it. It would be nice to have the fai-chboot
command on your Gentoo install server, for creating the pxelinux.cfg
files.
