In Gentoo-speak, you do:

	emerge vanilla-sources

Then, go to /usr/src/linux and proceed as usual. Update
/etc/modules.conf and /etc/modules.autoload as needed.

By doing it this way, Gentoo can keep you informed of new kernel
releases via the emerge mechanism.

The end result is identical. And the steps familiar.
