The solution to this can be found in the errata for 3.1:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.1R/errata.html

Here 'tis:

o  Kernel change information is not saved in the new kernel, even 
   though this is claimed to work in the docs.

Fix: The change information is being written out, in fact, but to the 
     wrong location.  move /kernel.config to /boot/kernel.conf (if it
     exists, otherwise there were no changes to save) and add the 
     following lines to /boot/loader.rc:
        
        load /kernel
        load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf
        autoboot 5
     
     This will cause the kernel change information to be read in and
     used properly (and you just learned a little about the new 3-stage
     loader in the process, so the exercise wasn't a total loss).
