Go into /usr/portage/sys-kernel and in some of the directories you will find 2.6 kernel ebuilds. This directory contains subdirectories for all the kernels available. However, only some kernels have 2.6 versions. Peruse the subdirectories in sys-kernel and pick one you like. You'll have to use the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ./ebuildname technique while you are in the subdirectory for the kernel.
