vi (well, vim, actually) is available on the 2004.2 x86 minimal install cd, although once you chroot you can't reach it any longer.

the author mentions "emerge vim" as a solution, but for quicker gratification, before doing the chroot (and after untarring the stage archive)...

cp -a /usr/bin/vi* /mnt/gentoo/usr/bin
cp -a /usr/lib/libgpm* /mnt/gentoo/usr/lib

...then vi will be there for you after you chroot.
