Is there any reason the Linux sources need to be included as an ebuild any 
more than, for example, the sources for Portage or Apache? You could always 
use ebuild to unpack into /var/tmp/portage and do the compile step yourself.
However, I do think it would be a good idea to have some way of installing the 
source for any ebuild into /usr/src. Maybe Portage can check and if the 
package name ends with -src, it trims it, only does an unpack and merges the 
- -src to /usr/src/ebuildname or something?
