'options UFS_GJOURNAL' is present in GENERIC kernel > config. If you use GENERIC kernel, it is there. UFS_GJOURNAL is for gjournal not soft-update journalling. A file system doesn't actually need to be created with either soft-updates or soft-update journalling- it's something that can be turned of and on.

There's no point in installing the default tree since portsnap has to do an initial "extract". In general I'd suggest starting portsnap on an empty ports directory just to eliminate any minor cruft.
