Because it is more typing? One can actually put KERNCONF in /etc/src.conf. In 
fact, one can put multiple kernel files in KERNCONF and the first one in the 
list will be the one installed, all will be built. This is how I share kernels 
over nfs to multiple machines from one build machine by mounting /usr/src and 
/usr/obj on the target machines and just running make installkernel. The 
target machines have their kernelname set in their own /etc/src.conf.
