% make KERNCONF='GENERIC FOO BAR BAZ' buildworld buildkernel update-packages

the first kernel listed in KERNCONF will be installed in /boot/kernel,
the rest will be installed in /boot/kernel.NAME.  for consistency, i
prefer to always build GENERIC as the first kernel, but there's no
actual requirement to do that.
