There is a whole chapter on configuring your own kernel. They show you how to cp GENERIC to your own name and then use it. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html They show you both the config way and the new build[install]kernel way of maintaing your kernel. I log everything and have the individual commands in shell scripts so that a mistake won't do something unexpected.
