probably not to slow to _run_ it, but it will take a _long_ time to compile, I would recommend a precompiled distro for a laptop like that. maybe debian, or something lightweight, I've heard vectorlinux is good for that kind of thing

gentoo would run, compile will be slow, but in the long run I think the system would be faster than a precompiled and therefore more bloated system
Operating System: GNU Emacs

so perhaps a stage 3 install of gentoo, would that work out alright?

Doesn't state 3 use pre-built packages?
Stage 2 would be better regardless
