When installing Gentoo, you normally download and extract a generic system image called a "stage3", tweak some configuration files, install some packages, and then (ideally) re-compile everything that was in the stage3. There are hardened versions of the stage3 archives -- just look for the word "hardened" in the filename -- but for the most part, hardening these days consists of setting USE=3Dhardened in your make.conf, and in building a kernel with additional hardening features. When you recompile your system after setting USE=3Dhardened during the installation, you'll wind up with a "hardened Gentoo" system, insofar as such a thing exists these days.
