The mainline/Linus/kernel.org 2.6.22 kernel is always available from
kernel.org. Gentoo's gentoo-sources kernel is described as "lightly
patched", so the unpatched kernel.org kernel would probably work. I've
always used mainline, here, and always handled the kernel myself as well,
since I knew how to do it already in Mandrake, when I switched.
If the Gentoo patches are needed or you want to use the ebuild, both it
and the Gentoo patches should be available from the Gentoo source
repository.
