Hello Chris,

No this does not imply that, however we can make it
optional since you can pass the arguments.  In a default
installation make buildkernel implies make buildkernel
KERNCONF=GENERIC (or the one that is set in /etc/make.conf)

I will try to look into this (but with current open issues
it might take a little, feel free to poke me anytime)

Cheers,
remko
