It doesn't seem like kernel-source is there by default. I will verify
this in a moment. 

Also, the documentation is somewhat misleading in that is says 

       installonlypkgs
              list  of  packages  that  should  only  ever be installed, never
              updated  -  kernels  in  particular  fall  into  this  category.
              Defaults  to  kernel,  kernel-smp,  kernel-bigmem, kernel-enter-
              prise, kernel-debug, kernel-unsupported.
                                                                                
which is a comma separated list. I couldn't find anything in the man
page about the default format of multi-value directives.
