You can do this already with the "synthetic dist" support. See /usr/src/release/scripts/*-make.sh for how the existing synthetic dists are made (a "synthetic" dist defined as one which was not actually created directly by doing a "make distribute"). There's nothing which says you couldn't pull the kernel out of bin, add a couple more kernels, and call it a kdist or something. Jordan
