 Myself, I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a mirror issue (what
mirror are you sync-ing with? Check /etc/make.conf), because mine looks
like this:

 equery list -p gentoo-sources
[ Searching for package 'gentoo-sources' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [ ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r5 (2.6.15-r5)

If you've synced twice already, and you're still getting such old
packages (2.6.*11*??), there's gotta be something wrong with your mirror
or your cache, it seems to me. Cache I don't know how to fix, but
changing mirrors is an easy way to fix the problem or eliminate one
possible vector of trouble (if nothing changs, then we know the problem
is something else, and there aren't too many things it could be, at that
point).

HTH,
Holly
