If you do a 'make KERNEL=MYKERNEL buildkernel' it will DTRT still but will whine a little with a pointer to KERNCONF=. Ie: existing installations will not be broken and gentle encouragement will be applied to not propagate the KERNEL= thing further. I think we could MFC this without getting into trouble.
