You can define KERNCONF in /etc/make.conf.
What I have is the line:
KERNCONF?= MYKERNELC
This way if I don't specify anything on the command line the value
MYKERNELC is used. If I do define it on the command line, the value
in /etc/make.conf is ignored.
I hardly change my setup on my one box so it's very convenient. If
you multiple setups that you compile on one box, or change/rename
things frequently this isn't as useful.
