No, you destroy the original intent by making certain things depend
on the stuff in local/<proj>/*.config

We do not depend on the different "defconfigs" as well.
We copy them to .config and then we depend on .config

A good way to fix your problem could be to have a 

make BOARD=xyz reconfig

which would 

* make BOARD=$(BOARD) getconfig
* make menuconfig
* make saveconfig
