No no no no no. We don't restrict you to a GNU userland. We're a metadistribution, and we can provide several different userlands depending upon what you're after.
Although, admittedly if what you're after is "something that works right now", rather than "something that we're working on that kinda works", then GNU is the way to go...

MacOS pretty much works, AFAICT . . .
Also, I've seen some BSD Gentooists around.

Ok ok ok ok ok... But you can't deny that MOST Gentooers use the GNU system, and these are the ones that shouldn't say that their system shouldn't be called GNU/Linux...

my wish for 2005.1 is a better controlled portage tree.
imho there are too many devs letting unproperly tested software out in the portage tree.

Probably because we don't get enough decent bug reports from people who use ~arch but don't use whacked out ricer kernels and CFLAGS.
