That's not really for me to say. But I can tell you that although the
Gentoo developers take matters of security seriously, there is no
full-time security tracker. Sometimes things don't get patched in
portage until someone (else) creates a bug report. And even if that
were not the case, there are 0-day exploits that have yet to be patched.

So it really depends on how informed/paranoid you are about what you
have accepting requests from the Internet.
