Actually, emerge --depclean will remove old kernels. At least, it does that on 
my machine.

I do, however, install with:
" emerge gentoo-sources "
This leads to "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" to be entered into the world-file. 
Older versions will, as there is no version specified, be selected for removal 
by " emerge --depclean "

To avoid this, the used versions need to be seperately specified.
