If you use make-kpkg (in the kernel-package package), it is really easy.

The config for your currently installed kernels can be found in
/boot/config-*.  Copy that into your kernel tree as .config, and that
should give you reasonable defaults for everything.  Then make a "make
oldconfig" to be prompted for any new config options that were not
present in the old kernel (mostly new hardware support).  Then do a
"make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" to tweak the options that you know
need changing.
