There was already a bug open: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24543 It has been fixed in 3.1.4 so that needs to be installed (or reemerged) to get half-way past the bug. The second issue; development-sources will add virtual/alsa only if the alsa use flag is set when development-sources is emerged. mm-sources will add virtual/alsa when emerged regardless.
