I've installed Gentoo, know various programming languages, assembled PCs for years, but never owned a smartphone. What's the best way to into smartphones? I'd probably want to go full freetard on it like GNUlinux.

Buy an android phone. Probably an older one that has had a few years of support so there is plenty of resources for you to customize and tinker with it to your heart's desire.

Do you happen to have one in mind?

Well, I'd get rammed up the ass here for recommending anything from Google, but buying a Nexus 5 or 5X if you could find one would probably be a good place to start. They're relatively inexpensive, and have large communities behind them for modifications and rooting.
