I do not use genkernel, I build kernel manually. I've enabled
CONFIG_IKCONFIG to always have /proc/config.gz with current kernel's
config, and then for each new kernel I use this:

  cd /usr/src/linux && gzip -dc /proc/config.gz >.config && make oldconfig

This does exactly what you want: import old config and ask you only
about changes in a configuration, if any.
