You can do make oldconfig, which will load your old .config and
"adapt" it to your current kernel version. "adapt" here means apply
options that is found identical in your current tree, but ask you
question when they are not found.

Or you can use make menuconfig and use "load config" (something like
that, i forgot the exact wording) to load your old .config

I think my above answer also applies here....
