In source CVS now, thanks. Note: there's no need to make an "if" where the result statement is only one line. It's best to use something like:

[ "${INSTALL_MOD_PATH}" != '' ] && export INSTALL_MOD_PATH

... instead.

Thanks for all the patches!

The patch should be in Portage with genkernel-3.0.2e; please reopen this bug if you have any issues with it. Thanks!
