When I upgrade a kernel, I first change the symlink using eselect to point to the source I'm about to install. Then, after I configure and compile the kernel, I use the "module-rebuild rebuild" to rebuild any kernel modules against the new source. Move the bzImage to /boot, reboot, and that's it. I don't know how genkernel changes any of this - I use manual menuconfig.
