Like this:

flash ~ #  emerge -pv  =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.9-r9

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  NS   ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.9-r9  -build -doc
-symlink (-ultra1) 35,615 kB

Total size of downloads: 35,615 kB
flash ~ #

However first do

slocate gentoo-sources | grep ebuild

and make sure you have an ebuild for the kernel you are intersted in.
It may be gone. I have no 2.6.11 ebuilds anymore....
