a more complete reference on this topic can be found at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
it's a very thorough guide and even has some tips to help speed the
build process.
as i learned very quickly the first time i tried to 'make world', the
directions in /usr/src/UPDATING are very general and leave out several
important steps of the process.
