Hmmmmm.
There might be a work around that suites your needs?
# emerge -pv =gentoo-sources-3.10.28
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild NS ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.10.28:3.10.28 [3.10.25:3.10.25,
3.13.0-r1:3.13.0-r1] USE="-build -deblob -experimental -symlink" 557 kB
Total: 1 package (1 in new slot), Size of downloads: 557 kB
Does that work for you?
(Note: I also have this in my package.keywords:
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources)
hth,
