Yes, that's the way make build works.  It compiles and installs
everything in the source tree.

I'm sure it's possible to modify the tree in some way to prevent this,
but that's not supported and it may break other things (like cvs
updates).
I guess the easiest way is to build a release on another system and
install only the file sets that you used during the initial
installation.

As an alternative, you can use the pre-built file sets from
ftp://ftp.su.se/pub/mirrors/openbsd_stable/, but those files are not
part of the project, so you have to decide for yourself whether you
trust the people who provide these sets or not.
In case it matters, I'm one of those people ;-)
