I am not totally sure of the process, but I believe you can create 
/etc/portage and manually unmask linux-headers-2.6.x in a file 
(/etc/portage/packages.mask ??)

It is /etc/portage/package.mask...singular, not plural.  Plus, you would 
use /etc/portage/package.unmask to UNmask packages. 

What I did to prevent emerge trying to downgrade headers is to create 
/etc/portage/package.mask with an entry "=sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.22"

Here is a link to a good description of masking:
