Uh -- compiling a kernel requires /usr/src/sys. I think you can do without the rest of the system sources if all you want to do is build a kernel. OTOH, as you say: you do need all of /usr/src if you want to do a buildworld. > The buildworld process for sure needs /usr/src.

Yes -- all of the Makefiles used to run your 'make installworld' are held under /usr/src. Amongst other things -- for instance, you'll need the contents of /usr/src/etc/ in order to run mergemaster(1).
