I didn't have a problem with installing Gentoo along side WinXP, and
also leaving some space left over on my drive to trail other distributions.

If you've got a partition of WinXP and you've got no intentions of
resizing or deleting the WinXP portion, then it should be pretty smooth
sailing foward. Just tell grub (either in your FC2 or your fresh Gentoo
install) to load WinXP as usual.
