This is straight from the FreeBSD handbook section 5.2.

    # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
    # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
    # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
    # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
    # make depend
    # make
    # make install

Is this the information for which you are looking? If I am correct, make
depend is done on almost all software (that requires make depend) prior
to the performance of make. This is my limited experience.

Have fun.
