It's beyond me why you reinstall so often even if only playing around. The only need AFAIK is if you need to repartition. In fact, reinstalling without repartitioning and formatting your drives may create a mess as leftovers from the previous install may not be properly deleted. Anyway, if the problem is that sysinstall overwrites your previously installed custom kernel in /boot/kernel, there's the option of installing your kernel in say /boot/mykernel and then in loader.conf set kernel=mykernel.
