Or... since you know (sometimes) which of such packages need to be re-emerged, and you also know when you have upgraded your kernel, you *could* just write a (one line) script to re-emerge the relevant packages, throw it in /usr/sbin or whatever (optional), and run it after you upgraded a kernel. I've been meaning to do that for some time now, since it's much easier to maintain (you only have to add any new packages the first time you emerge them, then you're free to forget what you want :) ).
