Kernel config files have been preserved through the update since FreeBSD 3.x.
They're in /sys/i386/conf.  GENERIC gets stomped on, as does LINT, but
everything else is preserved.  And if you're feeling paranoid about it (which I
tend to be), there's always the floppy drive or some other backup mechanism.
