from Polytropon:
In case you need to do more than one additional installation,
you should consider creating a tar archive of the fully installed
system and then use tar --unlink to the mounted target. If you
need to create many bootable systems from scratch, a script

Better to make buildkernel and make installkernel as two
separate steps, rather than make kernel?
Yes. You only need to make buildkernel once, then make installkernel
for both $DESTDIRs.
The idea was to make buildkernel once and make buildworld once and install
to two different DESTDIRs.

I'm not sure I understand: The two install* targets (make installkernel
and make installworld) are only able to install to _one_ location,
which is the _default_ location *or* the location

That should be possible, you only have to make sure that both
install targets are fine with the

What exactly went wrong? Setting DESTDIR is the correct way to do this

I would like to build FreeBSD to install in two places: regular hard drive and
also on a USB stick, probably 8 GB.
USB stick install would be for backup, in case something goes awry with a later
update, then I have something to fall back on; could also install tools such as
gdisk to use on

sort of thing. You only need to set it when running the installworld or
installkernel steps though -- there's nothing that gets compiled into
/usr/obj which prevents you from installing into a different than normal
tree.
