Yes, outside of modifying the kernel configuration.  If you need to 
change the kernel, you should:

./ltib -p kernel -m scbuild -c && ./ltib -p kernel -m scdeploy

However if you have an packages (like hello_mod) that create kernel 
drivers you should instead:

./ltib -c

And select "Configure the kernel", then save/exit and (eventually) get 
to the kernel configuration; make the changes you need and save/exit to 
build the kernel (and any packages that depend on it).

If you are just modifying kernel source, you can just build the kernel 
(with your changes).

./ltib -p kernel

If you want to save your changes after you've tested them, then create a 
patch by:

./ltib -p kernel -m patchmerge

Follow the directions (which tell you to edit the patch to clean is up), 
and afterwards:

./ltib -p kernel -m prep

will re-populate rpm/BUILD with your kernel source (that has the changes).

You can repeat the process of edit/build/patch/prep repeatedly, each 
created patch will be applied in the order they are created.
