What do you mean exactly? The kernel version is in Makefile. If you mean which vanilla version the gentoo sources are based on you may check the comments in changelog at http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/ChangeLog

quickest way I can think of is to:

Code:

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig


Then you'll see the exact information you're looking for at the top of the screen :)

or you can
Code:
emerge gentoo-sources -p
and the should show you whats been emerged.... however, that doesn't mean that is the version you are using.

Hope that helps..

You can do
Code:
less /usr/src/linux/Makefile

At the top it will show you everything.
