Looks good..
Note that in section 25.2.3.1.2 Custom Kernels with FreeBSD 9.X and Later 
the current custom kernel in /boot/kernel gets overwritten.
It might be better to change this so the GENERIC kernel is installed in 
/boot/GENERIC

I.e. instead of

tar -C/ -xvf kernel.txz boot/kernel/kernel

tar -C/ -xvf kernel.txz boot/GENERIC

and instead of

make kernel

make buildkernel
make installkernel DESTDIR=/boot/GENERIC

or as in the 8.X section
env DESTDIR=/boot/GENERIC make kernel
