Let me see if I can get this right.
You can buildkernel with no world if and only if the sources
and installed world match and you are not cross building. You might be
lucky if they are not too different.
You can buildkernel with just bootstrap if you are not cross
building. You will need to buildworld sooner or later if sources don't
match the world so you might as well do it now.
You need to buildworld if you are cross building.
ISTM that it would be nice to identify the first case and make
buildkernel depend on a built world otherwise. I'm not sure the first is
automatically identifiable though.
