I've used LFS in the past (but not for MythTV), but switched to Gentoo.  My
main interest in LFS was having a Linux system fully optimized for my
hardware; Gentoo does that with much less fuss.  LFS remains a decent
educational experience for learning what goes into a Linux system, how all
the pieces interact with each other, how it all works, etc.  Gentoo has
worked better for me from a maintainability standpoint, which could be a
better match for you if you want something (like a MythTV box) that will
Just Work.
