That would mean that portage wouldn't be able to track the files installed when doing a "make install" on those packages... As the kernels don't install anything, but in /lib/modules/`uname -r` where the kernel-modules go, portage doesn't have to track the files generated by a kernel-compile. But to be able to remove files which ordinary packages install portage has to be able to track the files installed by those packages. This would mean that portage would have to be extensively modified to be able to handle the files installed by a "make install" from a package merged to /usr/src. Just a thought...
