Virtuals are not versionable at present. They probably will be one day, but in 
a different way that's not like what you are doing here. What you appear to 
be trying to do is achievable by using the correct files.

To do what you are trying to do, try the following:

virtuals:
virtual/linux-sources   sys-kernel/development-sources
virtual/os-headers      sys-kernel/linux26-headers

package.mask:
>sys-kernel/development-sources-2.6.7
>sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.7-r4
