I've started trying to get a RT pre-empt system using Gentoo. It's
painful. Spent most of my time so far just trying to boot a custom
kernel which I had zero problems with in Debian.
Is the pro_audio overlay any good? does it have the latest s/w?
Before I built a custom 2.6.31-rt20 kernel, I used the pro_audio overlay
to get rt-sources which gave 2.6.16 which seems ancient.
Would anyone actually recommend gentoo for setting up an RT audio system?

The pro-audio overlay is fine and running Gentoo as an audio platform
has worked well for me for years. Yeah, Gentoo is work, but it's so
stable that I would be hard pressed to give it up.
I do not understand your comment about 2.6.16. That would be ancient
but I don't see it. Build 2.6.31.12-r20.
Hope this helps. Ask more questions if you need to.
Cheers,
