If you read /usr/src/Makefile, you will find the following

# The user-driven targets are:
#
# buildworld          - Rebuild *everything*, including glue to help do
#                       upgrades.
# installworld        - Install everything built by "buildworld".
# world               - buildworld + installworld.
# buildkernel         - Rebuild the kernel and the kernel-modules.
# installkernel       - Install the kernel and the kernel-modules.
# reinstallkernel     - Reinstall the kernel and the kernel-modules.
# kernel              - buildkernel + installkernel.

I don't see an installkernel as an option for world.
