I guess you tried to build trunk. It is "normal" that the rapidly envolving 
development
trunk has "some" build errors. Especially the linux kernel packages after a 
"major"
update - because the third party modules need to some to get updated / fixed.

Unless you need a latest, greatest feature from the t2/trunk it is the most 
stable and
reliable way to base your work on the stable branches. Those stable branches, 
such
as 6.0, only receive security and bug fixes and minor maintenance updates:

svn co http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/branches/6.0/ t2-6.0

Most build failures are tiny, usually quickly fixable, regressions maybe you 
take a look
into the log file at build/.../var/adm/logs/*.err to see what's going on.

You can also just disable the third party kernel module packages in your package
selection as usually those are just nice to have and not necessarily needed.

Inside the (t2-6.0 branch checkout) with Emerge-Pkg
# ./scripts/Emerge-Pkg -system

or to update individual packages:

# ./scripts/Emerge-Pkg firefox mplayer ...

It will build the packages form source.

7.0 will come with binary repository to update from.
