The section breakdown and naming information for menuconfig and xconfig 
is specified in the "Kconfig" files in the kernel source tree.

From these files and the generated .config, you can derive the 
structure you see in menuconfig or xconfig, with the configured options.

A script to parse this information and generate an expanded kernel 
config tree to text would be fairly straightforward. I'd recommend perl.
