That should not be the case.  /usr/src shouldn't itself be a
dependency, and /usr/obj should be relocatable by setting
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX to the appropriate place.

I *think* this means that the poster should have been able to make
this work by something like:

# cd /mnt/src
# make MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/mnt/obj installworld

although I haven't tested it to be sure I haven't missed something
obvious.  

The original poster didn't give any details on the versions of
FreeBSD involved, but I suspect that he also has missed the changes
in recommended upgrade methods.  Reading /usr/src/UPDATING would be
advisable in that case.

Be well.
