I've never experienced this phenomenon prior to gentoo-sources-2.6.31.-r6.
I've always emerged gentoo-sources and they peacefully sat there and waited
until I built the corresponding kernel later when I felt like it - if ever.
With 2.6.31-r6, however, the emerge fails and consequently screws up 'emerge
world' attempts. PITA.
Any recommended workarounds or fixes?

I've pieced the following together from the console and elogv:
ERROR: preinst
This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other
packages (see list below). You can use a command such as `portageq
owners / filename` to identify the installed package that owns
a
file. If portageq reports that only one package owns a file then do
NOT file a bug report. A bug report is only useful if it identifies at
least two or more packages that are known to install the same file(s).
If a collision occurs and you can not explain where the file came from
then you should simply ignore the collision since there is not enough
information to determine if a real problem exists. Please do NOT file
a bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which
two packages install the same file(s). Once again, please do NOT file
a bug report unless you have completely understood the above message.
