think maybe this should be assigned to the kernel team as i think it's the ck sources ebuild not providing the dep that it should?? I've injected alsa-drivers and the emerge is going now.
It's a problem in your world file as it wants to use the 2.4 sources to satisfy the alsa requirement. There have been other bugs and forum posts about this; a little searching should turn up the solution.
