The simplest way to do this is after you've done "make depend; make" is 
to do a "make install".  

Perusing the Makefile, we have in more detail:

	chflags noschg /kernel
	mv /kernel /kernel.old
	install -c -m 555 -o root -g wheel -fschg kernel /

I skipped a couple of steps here...at this point you need to reboot to 
get your new kernel working.  

Good luck and Godspeed,

Brian
