In some ways Sabayon is to Gentoo as Ubuntu is to Debian. That analogy breaks down quite a bit though, as Gentoo is anything but stale in its default configurations (either testing or stable). Maybe a better comparison is Ubuntu to Ubuntu Server. Same codebase, less polish. No reason you can't have the firewall though - you can always configure it to open port 22 incoming. Most firewall tools make that easy - you just have to find the right config file. You also can just turn it on or off and set whether it runs at boot - most likely it is just a service (so use rc-update to manipulate the runlevels). I've messed around with Sabayon - it is an interesting alternative to Gentoo. Obviously its biggest pro/con (depending on perspective) is that it provides a binary repository, but allows you to use the source repository as well. The former obviously requires you to accept generic USE flags.
