If you read that section in the handbook again, it says:

   "You must now compile the source code for the kernel. There are two
    procedures you can use to do this, and the one you will use depends on
    why you are rebuilding the kernel, and the version of FreeBSD you are
    running.

        * If you have installed only the kernel source code, use procedure 1."

Where procedure 1 is:

    1. config
    2. cd ../../compile/GIT-ENHANCED
    3. make depend
    4. make
    5. make install

You only use procedure 2 if you're attempting to build *all* the
sources; or attempting an upgrade via source.

Cheers.
