Further to the good advice in Ruslan's reply:
You would use "make world" to UPDATE a system (or perhaps many). This
is used by many people.
You would only use "make release" if you wanted to build a release
structure, from which you could burn CD's or use FTP or NFS so that you
could INSTALL FreeBSD on a system (or many). This is a fairly rare
requirement.
Building a release needs a lot of disk space and processor time. For
example, you'll generally need a complete CVS repository.
Below are a couple of Makefile fragments which I use when building
stable and current releases. If you don't know what current is, or the
conditions which attach to its use, don't even think of using it!
stable-release: stable-src-build
cd ${STABLE}/src/release; TMPDIR=/tmp CVSROOT=/home/ncvs nice -20 make release BUILDNAME=3-stable`date +%C%y%m%d` CHROOTDIR=/d3p3/stable-release RELEASETAG=RELENG_3 NODOC=YES NOPORTS=YES > $(LOGDIR)/$(.TARGET).log 2>&1
$(LOGGER) "stable-release performed"
touch $(.TARGET)
current-release: current-src-build
cd ${CURRENT}/src/release; TMPDIR=/tmp CVSROOT=/home/ncvs nice -20 make release BUILDNAME=4-current`date +%C%y%m%d` CHROOTDIR=/d3p4/current-release NODOC=YES NOPORTS=YES > $(LOGDIR)/$(.TARGET).log 2>&1
$(LOGGER) "current-release performed"
touch $(.TARGET)
