Don't want to say your proposal is good or bad, but I use another way to make life easy for me on multiprocessor machines. I keep a copy of all three kernels in / with the uniprocessor kernel renamed to bsd.sp (for single processor, might not be the perfect name, but I'm used to it). /bsd (the kernal in use, whichever it is) is a copy of one of them then, easy to identify by its file size. For me that's easier than with a link. I've changed the update/upgrade procedure just a bit for my own situation, and I have a few MB in spare in my root partition, so the additional file is no problem. Tas.
