You don't need the source package for the kernel you're running, you've
already compiled it, but there's another sets trick you can use to
prevent depclean from removing kernel packages, put this
in /etc/portage/sets.conf

[kernels]
class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet
world-candidate = False
files = /usr/src

It stops depclean removing any package that has files in /usr/src.
