That's not possible and unlikely to change. That would mean calling kconfig for the kernel in 'ptxdist menuconfig' and that's not possible. The kernel source code may not be available at that point. I suggest a validation script that checks, that the two configs fit together. Parsing ptxconfig is quite simple.
