After upgrading to newest kernel the X will not start.

Is: make oldconfig  same as: make olddefconfig ?

This is an old system and is using:  GeForce GTS 450

Does the newest kernel: linux-6.1.19-gentoo
supports my old  GeForce GTS 450 card?

grep KMS .config
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM=y

I don't recall anything about the kernel that has to match the video card - it's the video driver for X, but if you're using Nouveau, I wouldn't expect a problem. I know the current nVidia driver is often not ready for the latest kernel, but I don't think that's your problem. Have you recompiled xv86-video-nouveau after installing the new kernel? Are there any relevant errors in dmesg?
