In general, have a look at the ebuild..

for a gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r0 you need linux-2.6.24.tar.bz2, genpatches-2.6.24-1.base.tar.bz2, genpatches-2.6.24-1.extras.tar.bz2.
All those packages are available from your favorite mirror and http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo

put the downloaded files into /usr/portage/distfiles.

hope it helps.
