A nice place to read about it:

	http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html

The short answer:

# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
# cp GENERIC FOOBAR
# vi FOOBAR
# config FOOBAR
# cd ../../compile/FOOBAR
# make depend all install
# reboot

You only have to copy GENERIC to your host specific kernel config 
file (FOOBAR in the example) the first time of course.
