Unless there's a note in /usr/src/UPDATING that would apply, one should expect to be able to make a kernel independently from world, even after doing a make update and getting fresher sources. I had to do a time-critical install Wednesday night, so I installed from 4.4-RELEASE floppies, and in /usr/src did a make update && make buildkernel KERNCONF=taz3 && make installkernel KERNCONF=taz3. Had I been forced to also build world it would have added a good two hours to the install process. I made sure to read /usr/src/UPDATING thoroughly to look for any API changes that would have necessitated building world and didn't see any. As it is, I'm worried about the other note I saw on this list about netinet changes that didn't appear to be documented un /usr/src/UPDATING.
