Yes, but .config should _not_ be edited by hand.  There are dependency
issues and you can more likely than not configure a kernel that won't
compile (which is what `make [x|menu]config` is designed to handle.  A
non-compilable kernel is much less likely using the tools provided.

But knock yourself out!
