Trivial:

./buildmykernel

where buildmykernel contains something along the lines of:

#!/bin/sh
# My rebuild procedure
( cd /usr/src/; make buildkernel; make installkernel ) && \
( cd /usr/ports/comms/ltxxx; make; make deinstall; make reinstall )


Don't forget the shell! Automatin is the easiest way to handle
repeating tasks. As an added bonus it is documenting the decisions you have
made.
