There is a whole chapter on configuring your own kernel. They show you 
how to cp GENERIC to your own name and then use it. See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

They show you both the config way and the new build[install]kernel way 
of maintaing your kernel. I log everything and have the individual 
commands in shell scripts so that a mistake won't do something 
unexpected.
