Some of this has a bit of overlap with Gentoo prefix (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Prefix), where one puts the bare bones of a Gentoo distro under a "prefix" (for example, /compat/linux), but then you can use Gentoo's portage infrastructure to build the other parts of the system. I imagine, you are maybe thinking of your own set of linux-* in the ports tree, but this might also be useful area to borrow from? Anyway, I'll lurk back into the shadows to see how this develops.
