No.  The official config file for redhat kernels is found as 
/boot/config-2.4.20-9 (or whatsoever), You have to copy it as .config 
in the source tree /usr/src/linux/ which is a symbolic link to 
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-9 (at least if you used redhat kernel source). 
Then you can run "make oldconfig" (in this directory of course), but 
it's useless as "make xconfig"  (in graphic mode) will use this .config 
file anyway, and is much more pleasant.
