If you want to have a functionality, that will let you to use the old
config(8), with the new kernels that do not use INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE, you can
test this patch:

http://people.freebsd.org/~wkoszek/patches/kernconf-imp.patch

It moves !INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE case into the kernel, so that we can deal
properly with lack of "kernconfstring" then.  If spamming kern_mib.c
with opt_config.h is acceptable, it should do the job.
