The only safe way is make world.

You can often get away with doing 'make depend && make all install'
from /usr/src which does what you asked for, but from time to time
(every month or so) something will change which will break this, and
quite possibly screw up your system in a difficult-to-recover-from
way. If you use this, you are expected to be able to recover from any
failures yourself without complaining to the support channels :-) You
have been warned.
