Linux compatibility with more than one Linux installed?

Now I might have something to try, but it is very unlikely that I would build a Linux kernel <= 2.6.16, especially with new hardware that might need the latest drivers.  I will primarily want to run Linux natively rather than under FreeBSD.

I think emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage3 and emulators/linux_base-gentoo-stage3 must use kernel far beyond 2.6.16.

But I think, when chrooting into Linux from FreeBSD, FreeBSD kernel is the one in effect.
