/boot/kernal.conf would be redundant after you've installed a working
customised kernel.  It's only use seems (to me) to be to disable or
enable device drivers when the GENERIC kernel is used.

After you have a working kernel, you can do a dmesg and see the effect
the stuff in /boot/kernel.conf has.  You can then delete =
/boot/kernel.conf
and see the difference in dmesg.

I think there was something that one could do in kernel.conf to deal
with some non pnp sound cards in FreeBSD-3.x

Good luck with your kernel compile.
John.
