According to the documentation (I think I've read it there sometime long
ago) you should not install just a new kernel, but also all of the
userland executables and libraries. make world is, I think, the right way
to upgrade a system. If you upgrade just the kernel funny things might
happen.

Read all about it in the FreeBSD handbook. :-)
