When you download using repo sync, you will not get "kernel". Actually, Android uses Linux kerenel for its Process management, low level I/O management. If you obtain the source code for a specific Board for e.g TI's OMaP3430 Board, than TI will provide kerenel code which will run on their boards.
But if you have alrady downloaded the souce code, than you can still build the Android OS. You can try with Build command "make sdk", which will build the necessary Android image and sdk tools such as emulator,adb of android. There are differnt google groups such as android-platform, android-porting, android-kernel on which you can post your issues, and discuss with Android community.
