Sure you can delete those files and not hurt any thing. But they do have purpose in FBSD. Lets say you recompile kernel and for some reason when you go to boot new kernel it does not boot, you are stuck. You can reboot and select the kernel.Generic or kernel.old to bring box back to life and fix problem, so that being said, it's highly recommended to not delete those files.
