CPUfreq behaves somewhat unpredictably indeed, but it has been better with the new 2.6.11 kernel (currently still in the /testing repo). ACPI works fine, just add both acpi AND acpid as running daemons at your /etc/rc.conf
Under KDE you can use "klaptop" to set suspend, cpufreq etc, under XFCE some manual footwork is needed though.
Pacman is great indeed, but there's a current bug which may give problems when upgrading software groups, so it "might" be wiser to uninstall group first.
My main worry with Gentoo is that installing software may be time consuming but pretty straightforward/easy, but uninstalling software is a huge pain in the butt.
Arch is currently my absolute favorite- pretty close to Slackware speed and reliability, plus the only couple of things Slack doesn't have: package dependency checks aind i686 cflags optimization.
