It depends.  You can get away with this for many of the parameters (and 
possibly all, but I haven't tested that).  The only way to know is to 
try it, recompile the kernel, reboot and exercise the portion that you
changed.  (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP KERNEL LAYING AROUND THE ROOT 
DIRECTORY WHEN YOU TRY THIS!!!!!!)
