These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

I'm using gentoo-sources, but I'm compiling kernels on a single machine and 
installing them manually on their target machines, thus I don't have 
gentoo-sources installed on the machine in question.

There is a note in the gnupg ebuild that points to a bug talking about the 
need for (or not) kernel sources.  I didn't quite follow the arguments and 
solution, but it had something to do with installing gpg suid root.  At any 
rate, it doesn't make sense (to me) for gnupg to require kernel sources to 
build or install.
