Have you tried INSTKERNNAME with your different kernel configs?
For example:
make  kernel KERNCONF=GENERIC INSTKERNNAME=kernel.GENERIC
make  kernel KERNCONF=MADCAT.DEBUG INSTKERNNAME=kernel.MADCAT.DEBUG
make  kernel KERNCONF=MADCAT

Will result in /boot/kernel.GENERIC, /boot/kernel.MADCAT.DEBUG & /boot/kernel 
any of which you can load from the boot loader
