Thanks for the information, now that I've tried it, I found that there are no
ebuilds for r3 and r4 in the portage tree anymore. So is there any way to
unmerge them using portage-tools? Or do I just have to remove the
directories?
Hmmm --- esp. for something important like the kernel sources
it leaves a bad taste: install via emerge, uninstall via adding ebuilds manually to
PORTDIR_OVERLAY or removing directories...
