[ale] Moving a Gentoo drive to a different machine

[jb at sourceillustrated.com (John Wells)]

I have Gentoo running as a mail server on a 200 mhz (pentium), 128 mb
machine.  I want to take that hard drive out tonight and drop it into a
900 mhz (althon), 512 mb machine.

Since Gentoo is compiled from the start to be optimized for the particular
machine it's running on, is there a way to incrementally rebuild
everything for the new architecture?  I have a lot of tweaks/configs I'd
hate to lose.  Or would it be best/easiest to back up as much as I can
remember and then just reinstall from scratch.

Thanks!

John
