I'm not experienced with gmirror at all.

this doesn't have anything with kernel config I think.
actually, I know only one way how to implicitly set the kernel boot
file. One can do so by adding line
kernel="path/to/kernel"
into /boot/loader.conf

that's because you're using the old kernel with the new world.

That's up to you. Personally I don't think it is needed. You should
firstly try to build a new kernel AND install it. If you are using
your own kernel config file, you should add KERNCONF=CONFIGNAME to the
make (build|install)kernel command.
