"make buildkernel" is really all of the steps from the "classic" way of
compiling a kernel, but in one atomic operation.  These steps are:

# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
# /usr/sbin/config KERNCONF
# cd ../../compile/KERNCONF
# make depend
# make

By running "make buildworld" you are essentially performing all of those
commands.
