Can't speak for sabayon but IIRC, gentoo is all about compiling whatever
one wants on their box as opposed to debian, et al, which for the most
part, install binaries.

So, in gentoo, if I want OpenOffice.org suite, I download the source &
compile it into a binary. In Debian, I look for the binary's repository
and download it.

FreeBSD, which I use, is set up the same way. You might think that this
way of doing things is a pita but, really, it's just another learning
curve. Once done a few times, the process is straight-forward.
Cost/Benefit? Careful. The discussion can get religious quickly.
