It's been two years now, but I'm fairly sure that you may hand edit a Linux kernel config file if you want to. The config programs just create the config file from scratch in a user-friendly (not!) manner. One thing Linux does have over FreeBSD in this regard is MUCH better documentation of the config items, either from the GUI's "help" or by just reading the text file the GUI reads its help from.
