why? Why do you want to prevent it?
OK, I get it now. I was under the (wrong) impression that
the kernel headers should match the kernel installed.
So, if portage is trying to install linux-headers-2.6.17
it is because that is the stable headers for 2.6, right ?
I even went to the extent of doing a
make headers_check
export INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr
make headers_install
in the kernel build directory.
I see this is stupid now..
Thanks

You know, that the in-kernel headers should not be used?

You don't. Really. The kernel headers which come with the source tarball are
not a good choice for userspace. Don't do it, you don't have a compelling
reason. And if you have a very good reason for the in-kernel headers (like
app X needs them), it is a bug.
