I think it leaves your .config file. Been a few weeks since I burned myself last with this one. If you were following directions back in 2007 you should have a stored config in /boot
Try "emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r2 to re-emerge the old package to regain the make files. What the osmp is about beats me. or Emerge a new gentoo-sources, eselect it, configure, compile, install a new kernel.
