I think so.......I did the following on my machine (running 2.6.10)

$> make oldconfig bzImage modules modules_install

Then i ran menuconfig....and changed an option (enabled process
accounting)...and again ran the above command....make oldconfig
never asked me any questions!! :) seems like oldconfig picks up
".config.old" to build your kernel...so it doesn't require any
human intervention.
