No, there is/was a bug in the kernel configuration scripts where
it won't accept any values for one of these settings. I had to enter
nothing and edit .config by hand.
You can set the sbpcd settings on the command line to the kernel
or to the module; much more practical than editing the kernel
source for every new version. My conf.modules says
options sbpcd sbpcd="0x330,0"
which is for a "lasermate" interface at 0x330; it's just a small
CD-ROM only controller, no sound card etc. Quotes are required
for the module only.
