Just copy the ebuild to your local portage tree and then `emerge =
=3Dsys-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.
