1. Merge one of the 2.6 kernels - I used gentoo-dev-sources.
2. Change the /usr/src/linux symlink to point to the /usr/src/2.6directory
3. Cd /usr/src/linux and do a make menuconfig
4. Go through the menu and select the options you want. I don't recommend taking the 2.4 .config and running make oldconfig on it.
5. Exit menuconfig (save!)
6. Run make && make modules_install
7. Copy the bzImage to /boot - mount /boot first if it's not already.
8. Set LILO or Grub up so that you have another kernel entry it can boot - I call mine Test.
As for udev I went from 2.4 to 2.6 and just went with udev. Check the Gentoo docs for some docs on links to other docs on moving to udev.
