I have been using KDE4 (with opensuse) on my home and work computers
since months. It at least meets my needs. You should try it out,
though I will say you did well to skip 4.0.

Compositing is enabled by default if possible. I only had to do a
1-click install, but you probably will have to enable compiz manually,
I'm sure gentoo has some sort of tutorial for that in their forums.

I don't think so. It really does behave similar to its predecessor.
Obviously there are some programs that haven't been ported to their
kde4 versions yet, but the kde3 version still works, so you don't
really lose anything.
