Tried it and indeed it *worked*.
So, for the record, here are the two solutions, as suggested in this thread:
1) Proposed by eroen:
You can make it happen by adding your own virtual ebuilds in a local
overlay[1], say virtual/thanasis-sources, then adding that to world.
You can make one ebuild for each kernel-series you want, each in its
own slot, using the =cat/pkg-3.10* syntax for RDEPEND. Find attached a
(barely tested) suggestion for
virtual/thanasis-sources/thanasis-sources-3.10.ebuild .
After setting up an overlay and adding the ebuild, you can add it to
world with `emerge --select virtual/thanasis-sources:3.10`.
To add a different kernel series, you should only need to rename/copy
the ebuild in your overlay and add the new version/slot to world.

2) Proposed by Khumba:
Put the following in your world file:
<sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.11
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
