It's beyond me why you reinstall so often even if only playing around. 
The only need AFAIK is if you need to repartition. In fact, reinstalling 
without repartitioning and formatting your drives may create a mess as 
leftovers from the previous install may not be properly deleted.

Anyway, if the problem is that sysinstall overwrites your previously 
installed custom kernel in /boot/kernel, there's the option of 
installing your kernel in say /boot/mykernel and then in loader.conf set 
kernel=mykernel.
