In addition to this:I did some further research about this, since I actually never thought about getting the Kernel sources without having an installed Gentoo system:
You may take a look at one of the HTTP mirrors[1], preferably one in your country and navigate to "/releases/<cpu_architecture>/". There you will find a Live DVD image - "livedvd-amd64-multilib-20160704.iso" for example - from which you could boot from; either virtually in VirtualBox or other virtualisation solutions or directly from hardware.
Click on "Login" to login and get the Kernel sources from "/usr/src/linux/.config".

But I guess, you want a untouched version, don't you? -RamonHi, to expand on this - Gentoo doesn't really have a standardised kernel config - the nearest to that is the above install CD, or the default generic catchall "genkernel" one - most people seem to manually configurate and tune/customise a .config and then copy it from system to system. There are a few bin(ary) kernels in portage/sys-kernel/* that might work for you but I have never tried them. You can boot almost any linux live media on your target hardware and extract the config (sysrescuecd is a good one) and use their sources, or build the kernel using their config on top of Gentoo's vanilla-sources, or gentoo-sources. Or grab another distros boot directory (containing the kernel, initrd and config files), the matching /lib/modules directory and boot that instead of building your own (I do this often on uboot based arm systems and raspberry pi's.) Or ask on the list if someone has a config that matches your target (occasionally it comes up).

I wonder if possible to get the kernel configuration files of Gentoo. If this question is invalid, please let me know.
