Do I need (in order to have sda4 as a block device):
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y

Yes. For hard disks, as well as floppy drives (maybe Zip
too) you definitely need that enabled. Even USB key and
floppy drives require that.

Is this the equivalent of insmod scsi_mod and if not, what is?

what else do I need to configure?
I found in the aic7xxx.s kerneL;
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SR=y (instead of sr_mod.o?)
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y (instead of sg.o?)
(I used these two for scsi emulation with the cd burner - do I also need
them for real scsi? I have been using bare.i for scsi emulation so that I can listen to the .wav files made with cdda2wav, but I think the BL2 kernel also worked for it with three scsi modules plus ide-scsi.)

CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=y I probably need this instead of aic7xxx.o
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_CMOS_PER_DEVICE=8 these lines too?
CONFIG_AIC7XX_CMOS_RESET_DELAY=5

Do I need all of this? Or anything else not in the BL2 kernel?

Why are some scsi devices sga (scanner?), some sda4 (zip), some sr0 (cd burner, I think)? I never used anything scsi until recently, these three devices.
