No, you don't need to. It went on and built your kernel. You should
have seen hundreds of messages after the one on make depend. The
install kernel should have installed what you build. The only change
you might make is that KERNEL=MYKERNEL should now be
KERNCONF=MYKERNEL. That has been in effect for a couple of days. See,
/usr/src/Makefile.inc1 for comments. 

BTW, on many systems, you don't need to reboot to single user mode.
That makes updating your world update even faster.
