You should probably read:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/makeworld.html

Note that KERNCONF=<YOURKERNELCONFIGHERE> in (For example) make 
buildkernel KERNCONF=<YOURKERNELCONFIGHERE> will build YOUR kernel 
configuration.

To make such a configuration implicit, add 
KERNCONF=<YOURKERNELCONFIGHERE> to /etc/make.conf

Note that the above could raise problems at some point, so do not forget 
the line was added :)

Hopefully this helps!

Best regards,
Remko
