Of course there is such a way. First download the new kernel sources (either
by hand or using emerge (emerge gentoo-sources). Then go to /usr/src/linux
Type make menuconfig, configure the kernel, make dep, make bzImage, make
modules, make modules_install, and cp the new kernel to the boot dir.
Also take a look at man grub to see how you can enable the option to choose
between kernels.

ps. Of course a reboot is nescesarry to load the new kernel
