If you compiled the kernel with 

options INCLUE_CONFIG_FILE

then you can extract the config file with 

strings /kernel | grep ^___ | sed -e 's/^___//' > MYKERNEL

If you didn't, then you have to work backwards from the boot log.

Not really, but I run my workstation at 64.

LINT is a good start.
