Even better, the config files of each kernel version are kept in /boot (in openSuSe, at least).
Copy your previous one to your kernel sources top folder and rename it to ".config".
You can edit it to change the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION variable to something different, 
so that it doesn't overlap with your normal distribution versions.
Then run make, make modules, make install, make modules_install.

In opensuse and I guess in other rpm based distros you can run 'make rpm' which takes 
care of all those steps and creates a package in /usr/src/pachages/RPMS/'architecture (e.g x86_64)'
which you can then install with the package manager.

Yianni.
