You can apply the rt patchset against both the vanilla or gentoo-sources. 
There is very little difference between the gentoo-sources and the vanilla 
kernel. The only thing added to gentoo-sources are patches to fix things on 
specific architectures (usually solaris) and a couple small insignificant 
drivers. That's it.

I personally apply the rt patch set against the gentoo sources. Have for quite 
a while. No problems. (You will get two errors when applying the patchset. 
Both are trivial crap that doesn't matter. One for a set of brackets which 
aren't needed anyway where the framebuffer driver is added on, and another 
when it tries to change the name of the kernel which you can change yourself 
in the config menu if you want.)
