If both kernels, names exactly as you show, are present, they should 
both be available. But I don't use gentoo, and my grub stanzas don't 
resemble those. Here is one:

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-1-k7
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-k7 root=/dev/hda2 ro
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-k7
savedefault
boot

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-1-k7 (recovery mode)
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-k7 root=/dev/hda2 ro single
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-k7
savedefault
boot
