When emerging -uDpv world, it wants to pull in gentoo-sources (2.4) and ALSA. I have a manually installed kernal from kernel.org (2.6.7) (vanilla i suppose) trying to figure out which app is the culprit emerge -uDpv gaim: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Did you say you had installed a kernel from kernel.org, and not emerging the sources from portage? Then there won't be a virtual/alsa line in /var/cache/edb/virtuals, so portage satisfies it by emerging alsa-drivers, which require some kernel source. Try injecting development-sources (or emerging a source ebuild) and add a "virtual/alsa sys-kernel/development-sources" line to your virtuals file (if it isn't added by the inject).
And remember to attach text files as text/plain so we can look at them without having to download them.
This isn't really a bug since it's self-caused (due to not using emerge to install the kernel) so I'll mark it INVALID. The comments already should have gotten you over the issue. Feel free to followup in the forums.
