From Gentoo Wiki
Switching init systems is a non trivial operation that has implications for how the system is configured, and sometimes for what software can be installed or not. Generally, an init system will be chosen at installation time (i.e. by downloading either a systemd or an openrc stage3 tarball), and only changed if necessary. In true Gentoo style, in addition to systemd and OpenRC, several init systems are supported.
