You may verify that in the toplevel makefile, the lines
"TARGETS+=kernel-headers" is uncommented among the four kernel options.
Then you should take a look at make/kernel-headers.mk. There you should
be able to specify the version you want to use.

I don't think building the buildroot against 2.6 headers and using it on
a 2.4 system would work, since uClibc depends on the kernel headers.
