Yes, of course.

In fact, that's what I customarily do.  I don't call it /usr/test but I have
some space under /tmp/test and usually do my installworlds like:

	# script /tmp/world.log
	# cd /usr/src
	# make buildworld
	# make installworld DESTDIR=/tmp/test

and if this does not fail somewhere, then I do the real installworld.
