I usually keep a copy in /boot just in case (not like I am using the space for anything else...) If you have enabled the option in the kernel, you can access the current configs via zcat /proc/config.gz, but like I said, you needed to have the foresight to have enabled the option. Also, check the symlink for /usr/src/linux? You might have the symlink USE flag set, then if the 'updating of the system' brought in a new kernel tree, your /usr/src/linux will point to the now new and unconfigured version.
