Check out this URL for more definitive information:

Chapter 21 The Cutting Edge
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html

Then continue onto:

Chapter 8 Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

Then move onto:

8.2 Why Build a Custom Kernel?

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-custom-kernel.html

Then check out:

8.3 Building and Installing a Custom Kernel

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html

and:

8.4 The Configuration File

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-config.html

Then continue onto:

21.4 Rebuilding “world”

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

That should give you enough information to get started.
