For the 'make kernel' to force not using /etc/make.conf:

make kernel __MAKE_CONF=/dev/null

I think that's what the variable is called - I don't have a FreeBSD
handy to check.

I think it looks sane from a quick look, but I don't have time for a
more detailed review at the moment.

PS. I never had to do the magic with installing an old GENERIC myself
before, so I can't verify if it works exactly like documented.. but it
sounds plausible...
