I eventually found what I needed, by going into /usr/src/UPDATING.

At the very end of this file, you will find the following under "COMMON
ITEMS:"

COMMON ITEMS:
        
        To build a kernel
        -----------------
        Update config, genassym and go:   
                cd src/usr.bin/genassym
                make depend all install clean
                cd ../../usr.sbin/config
                make depend all install clean
                cd ../../sys/i386/conf
                config YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
                cd ../../compile/YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
                make depend && make
                make install
        
        To rebuild disk /dev entries   
        ----------------------------
                
        MAKEDEV should be copied from src/etc/MAKEDEV to /dev before
        starting the following:
                
                For N in the list of disks
                        MAKEDEV N                       # eg ad0
                        for M in the list of slices
                                MAKEDEV NsMa            # eg ad0s1a
        
        
        To rebuild everything
        ---------------------
        make world
                
        Except when it doesn't work.
        
        To update from 3.x to 4.0 stable
        --------------------------------
        cd /usr/src
        make buildworld
        cd sbin/mknod
        make install
        <follow directions to build/install a kernel>
        <follow rebuild disk /dev entries above>        [*]
        reboot
        <in single user>
        cd /usr/src
        make -DNOINFO installworld
        make installworld
        
        [*] You may need to switch from wd to ad ala 19991210
 
Apologies if posting this here offends, however, I think this will answer
your question. It has certainly given me something to work with. :-)

Regards,
