Still curious about this, but I went ahead and pulled the trigger 
anyway, and it was about as uneventful as it gets...

Took all of 6 minutes (and almost all of that was rsyncing /usr)...

Made a gentoo forum post in case anyone else wants to do this and may be 
a little hesitant like I was...

Thanks to all who patiently answered my questions...

I now have /usr merged back into / and no longer have to choose between 
using an intramfs (which I vehemently did not want to do) and updating 
my system without fear of breakage.

<whew>
