That's the usual way to go. Having said that, Fremantle (and I think Harmattan too) provides a mechanism for logging kernel messages to one of the mtd partitions on the NAND flash. I haven't looked into how this works but it might be possible to use this to log the kernel messages during boot up in order to debug the boot process without a serial console.

Unless Filip has a better suggestion, I would just take the config file from 3.5.3 as you suggested. The config options have changed since then but it should serve as a starting point. When you build the kernel it will prompt you set any new options.

The N900 DT Compilation instructions should help you with that.
