Assuming "installation" means an existing git checkout:
$ git pull && make config

If you meant that you want your custom FFmpeg build to 
have the same configuration as the installed version 
(that you did not build yourself) just run "ffmpeg", 
all sane versions show the configuration, no option 
needed.

In case you don't know and if you are worried about 
your existing system configuration: You don't have to 
install FFmpeg, the default build works fine from its 
build directory.
