No, you don't need to chroot into the -CURRENT world. Instead, a chroot is populated by a copy of your running world (4.9-STABLE). Then snapshot building of -CURRENT looks pretty like you'd do a cross build of the -CURRENT world (actually, it does just that as the first step) plus a few additional steps, the most entertaining of them is creating bootable floppies. I haven't checked it for a while (will do it shortly), but it was possible last year, and src/release/scripts/doFS.sh still has support for 4.x.
