Just copy the ebuild to your local portage tree and then `emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.14.1` (or whatever version). With some packages it's important to include some contents of /usr/portage/category/package-name/files but not for gentoo-sources. There's no need to update your kernel more often than every few months. Stroller.
