Don't you have to make the kernel with different options, if you haven't done an installworld yet? Otherwise, how do you get it to recognize the new libraries and other objects that have been built with the new sources, but haven't been installed yet? Also, if an installworld dies in the middle, you'll have an old kernel that may be partially compatible with some parts, and a new kernel that will be partially compatible with some parts, but either way you may have significant breakage. Has anyone figured out what the odds of this are, and compared the potential against doing a buildworld/installworld first and then following that by re-making and installing the new kernel?
