I never used genkernel, but if you have the kernel source tree available, 
you can just cd into it, adjust your configuration (using make *config), 
then do "make && make modules_install". Only the new stuff you added 
will be rebuilt and installed (ie, the fuse module in your case), 
assuming you did not delete the already compiled object files inside the 
tree.
