you will have to copy gentoo-sources-2.6.x.x.tar.bz2 or whatever it is named (the file it's trying to download) into /usr/portage/distfiles.
It wants sources, not the binary kernel from the cd

Please follow the networkless installation instructions to the letter.

It will instruct you to copy over the source code files to /usr/portage/distfiles and, at the end, use the Package CD for installing packages. You should never need to copy the package files to any location.
