I would not call Gentoo a 'minimal' installation in terms of space. In one sense it's minimal, you get to choose your own software and features, but it builds its own kernel, which that takes considerable space to do in of itself, and the portage tree is another gig or more depending on your filesystem. I've installed an entire Gentoo system it in 1GB or so before but that required dirty tricks like unionfs+cramfs filesystems.
You could install putting /usr/src, /usr/portage, and /var/db/pkg on external filesystems though, and just unplug that when you're done, which will remove the space bloat.

repquota
REPQUOTA(8) System Manager's Manual REPQUOTA(8)
NAME
repquota - summarize quotas for a filesystem
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/repquota [ -vsug ] [ -t | -n ] [ -F format-name ] filesystem...
/usr/sbin/repquota [ -avtsug ] [ -t | -n ] [ -F format-name ]
DESCRIPTION
repquota prints a summary of the disc usage and quotas for the specified file systems. For each user the current number of files and
amount of space (in kilobytes) is printed, along with any quotas created with edquota(8).
OPTIONS
-a Report on all filesystems indicated in /etc/mtab to be read-write with quotas.
-v Report all quotas, even if there is no usage. Be also more verbose about quotafile information.
-t Truncate user/group names longer than 9 characters. This results in nicer output when there are such names.
-n Don't resolve UIDs/GIDs to names. This can speedup printing a lot.
-s Try to report used space, number of used inodes and limits in more appropriate units than default ones.
-F format-name
Report quota for specified format (ie. don't perform format autodetection). Possible format names are: vfsold (version 1 quota),
vfsv0 (version 2 quota), rpc (quota over NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)
-g Report quotas for groups.
-u Report quotas for users. This is the default.
Only the super-user may view quotas which are not their own.
FILES
aquota.user or aquota.group
quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
quota.user or quota.group
quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
/etc/mtab default filesystems
/etc/passwd default set of users
/etc/group default set of groups
