I may be wrong, but ... Do this order: make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel reboot make installworld This should get you an updated config program, while still giving you the safety of backing out if the new kernel doesn't boot. If I'm wrong on this point, please correct me. But I don't see it being harmful to try.
