There are clear upgrade instructions: 
 
# Gentoo has switched to 2.6 as the defaults for headers/kernels.  If you wish 
# to use 2.4 headers/kernels, then you should do the following to upgrade: 
# emerge -n '>=sys-apps/portage-2.0.51' 
# cd /etc/ 
# rm make.profile 
# ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4 make.profile 
 
# If you wish to use the default 2.6 kernel, do the following: 
# emerge -n '>=sys-apps/portage-2.0.51' 
# cd /etc/ 
# rm make.profile 
# ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0 make.profile
