Yes. The build steps are:
	1) cd ..../src/arch/atari/conf
	2) Select a config file you like, edit it if you wish
	3) Type: config <the file you choose>
	4) cd ../compile/<the file you choose>
	5) make depend
	6) make

Updates are spread using the sup-command. I can't help you out with this
however as I can't use it myself yet :-(
Sup allows you to get updates on sub-sets of the repository.

The whole repository seems a bit over done when you only want to build a 
new kernel ;-) When you want all sources, be sure you have about 180Mb
disk space. This excludes the space needed to store the objects.
