Yes I'm successfully using gentoo vservers with baselayout-2. Apart from
some cosmetic startup error messages, it seems to work fine.

Start with a stage tarball from hollow's site [1] and update to the
latest baselayout afterwards:
Make sure that you unmask and set the proper keyword (here for x86) for
the latest baselayout:
echo "~sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0_rc3 ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "=sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0_rc3" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
emerge sys-apps/baselayout -va
Don't forget to update your config files afterwards (via etc-update or
dispatch-conf).
