Read /usr/src/UPDATING whenever you do this.

in there you will find (among other things)

To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
make installworld
You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc. The
upgrade target is aware of stale files created by older DragonFly
installations and should delete them automatically.
make upgrade

Personally I think there really should be a 'reboot to single
user mode' instruction between installkernel and installworld.
