To be safe, you should try and find the configuration file for the kernel that 
you're running.  I think most distros will put the config file in /boot now, 
and on some you can even find it in /proc as config or config.gz.  Ask around 
on the relevant distro mailing lists if you have trouble finding it.

Once you have found the config file cp it to /usr/src/linux/.config and run 
'make oldconfig'.  Once you've done that, the kernel source is configured.

You may find you have to run 'make dep' after this stage, too.

Cheers,
Alex
