I would just copy the existing section with the old kernel and
replace things which have changed

[root at rubikon ~]$ cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
# file
#boot=/dev/hda
default=3
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

# New kernel
title Fedora Core (2.6.6-1.435.2.3)
         root (hd0,1)
         kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
         initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.6-1.435.2.3.img

# Original kernel
title Fedora Core 2 (2.6.5-1.358)
         root (hd0,1)
         kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
         initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img
title Windows XP Professional
         rootnoverify (hd0,0)
         chainloader +1
