This is enough for only compiling kernel and not world and this is the
Smartest way according to FreeBSD handbook.

Subject: Building a kernel with config ?

2. Building a kernel with config is not officially supported. It's at
your risk and may not work in all cases. Build a kernel with:
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel
I was not aware that you wern't supposed to use config anymore - and I
am not convinced that the suggested alternative is actually a replacement
as I thought that buildkernel required you to have built the world first ?
Is this no longer true ? If it *is* true thhen what is the alternative to
using 'config' which should be used if you are on a system where you do
not have the time or the disc space to rebuild the world and simply want
to recompile the kernel ?

Another way you could achieve the same thing is:
make kernel KERNCONF=KERNNAME
this will combine both steps in to one.
Also for those who want to omit the KERNCONF step set KERNCONF in
/etc/make.conf and you can omit the KERNCONF argument.
Its sometimes nice to keep things really simple.
