While I have no experience with Gentoo's beta releases, I did a fresh Gentoo
install on my laptop in January using the 2007.0 stage3 release, and while
it took some time to update it, it seems to be working great. Just be sure
to run

# emerge -auvND world

as soon as you are booted in the environment, to get the latest system,
before installing newer things. I don't think you'll technically need to
rebuild the whole system, though this command might feel like it's the whole
system anyway :)
