Yes.

The supported way to rebuild your system is with make buildworld.
While it's possible for experts to rebuild parts of the system, you
can in fact put your system into an even worse state if you don't know
what you're doing.  Please read more about the buildworld process in
the handbook.  In particular, since you're not doing an update it
should be quite safe.
