If Debian ran OpenBSD, this wouldn't have happened! Theo runs a tight ship over there.
I also think that Gentoo would have prevented this tragedy.
Not really. The vast majority of break-ins are through misconfiguration or human error. Gentoo, OpenBSD, nor anything else, can prevent these factors. I would be very surprised if this was due to a security hole or vulnerability. More likely someone wasn't secure enough with their SSH keys or something like that.
