(No files missing, no old files messing things up) It shouldn't be possible to miss files during an installworld without the installworld bombing out, though I'm not sure how to actually confirm this. I have had a couple of occurrences where my checked-out source tree got out of step with my CVS tree (I'm not sure how this happened). My solution here is to occasionally do a checkout into a temporary tree and compare it with my active tree. (An alternative would be to squirrel away my local patches and blow away the active tree). As for obsolete cruft in the root and /usr filesystems, you could try "rm -fr /" :-). Seriously, since installworld installs everything with the current date, one way is to run "ls -ltr" on all all affected directories and delete all files older than the installworld.
