You could, but then your custom kernel would still identify itself as GENERIC, e.g., in uname output. This could be confusing to you, and certainly to others if you reported a problem.

So, the recommended way it to copy the GENERIC file in the usr/src/sys/arch/.../conf/ directory to another unique file in that directory, say, MY_KERNEL. Then make your changes to the new config file and compile with

% ./build.sh ... kernel=MY_KERNEL

Replacing MY_KERNEL with a more descriptive name would be wise.
