To get exact version:
emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6
Unfortunately it seems to me the ebuild for this version doesn't exist anymore, so unless you have the ebuild locally and the needed files in your $DISTFILES, you're going to have to upgrade.
To get newest stable version:
emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources

in other words i can not set up my ATI card eh? I would need the kernel-sources for the driver to take effect.
Upgrading kernels messed up my Debian system many times and to be honest i am scared to try it on Gentoo  |

Oh well. Not much help I can give you there except wishing you luck...
Always keep a copy of your old kernel and /lib/modules/* so that you can revert back to it if something goes wrong.
