Your question may seem simple, but it somewhat ambiguous and I don't 
completely understand exactly what it is you want to do.

How about: look in /boot. You'll find the actual kernel binary (look for 
a file starting with "vmlinuz"), plus a config file (starts with 
"config") that shows with what options it was created. Is this what you 
mean?
