So, please check where these files came from by
qfile /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6/Makefile
Have you installed this kernel 'by hand' i.e. outside of portage?
Check by uname -a if you are not currently running linux-2.6.31-r6
If not, it's safe to rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6
and emerge it again.
Helmut.

I've never experienced this phenomenon prior to gentoo-sources-2.6.31.-r6. I've always emerged gentoo-sources and they peacefully sat there and waited until I built the corresponding kernel later when I felt like it - if ever. With 2.6.31-r6, however, the emerge fails and consequently screws up 'emerge world' attempts. PITA.
Any recommended workarounds or fixes?

Have you installed this kernel 'by hand' i.e. outside of portage?
No. I've not built nor installed *any* 2.6.31 kernel. I've never succeeded in emerging the sources.
Helmut, thanks for your rapid attention!

per Helmut Jarausch:
rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6
followed by re-emerge of gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r6
worked!
Thanks, Helmut
P.S. The mystery remains how those conflicting files got there in the first place. Certainly not by any conscious act on my part.
But, at this point I don't really care because things are back in balance again.

An earlier attempt to merge those sources failed and the install is left incomplete. Do a --depclean to be safe, delete the source tree, merge it again
