Its in the handbook...
go to /sys/i386/conf create a configuration file (cp GENERIC <CONFIG>, etc.)
then do 'config <CONFIG>' to create the kernal compilation directory.
cd ../../compile/<CONFIG>, and do 'make' followed by 'make install'.
I'm not 100% sure this was the detail....I'm kind of new to FreeBSD as well.
(used to run Interactive UNIX).
