The explanation makes no sense to me.  It doesn't really mean build, 
it's a choice of where the new modules will be installed.

   MODULES_WITH_WORLD
 	(bool) Set to install modules in the /boot/modules directory.
         Unset to install modules in the /boot/kernel directory along
 	with the FreeBSD kernel.

It really should be inverted and the variable named MODULES_WITH_KERNEL.
