No there's not, and you're right it should be documented. KERNVIRTADDR is the virtual address at which the kernel is loaded (and linked). KERNPHYSADDR is the physical address at which the kernel is loaded. PHYSADDR is the physical address of the RAM. KERNBASE is the virtual address of the beginning of the KVA. STARTUP_PAGETABLE_ADDR is a physical address, suitable for the very early pagetable we build in locore.S. FLASHADDR is the address of the flash, virtual or physical depending on what the loader does. That, and LOADERRAMADDR (the address at which the loader maps the RAM if we're running with the MMU enabled, and the physical address if not), are used to detect if we're running from flash, and if so copying the kernel to memory.
