Even if this could be done easily what would be the point? Just about all hardware drivers are built as modules so even with the 'all inclusive' kernels we have now you are still only loading what's needed for your specific hardware. All you'd be doing by building a custom kernel is saving an insignificant amount of disk space on the installed system (a few 10's of megabytes at most). Not to mention that your custom kernel wouldn't support new hardware devices that the user might buy out of the box, adding extra complexity to something that can already be tricky.
