If you haven't upgraded your sources, the old way is the way to go. I keep seeing these masochistic people that do "config -r"'s when they don't need to. I also won't to know if you need to do a clean and will run the config -r when things break. If you have cvsuped 4-stable, then you are safer using the method in /usr/src/UPDATING. The buildkernel method is designed to walk you though a system change that requires a crossbuild. The transition from 4.0 to 4.1 was such a situation. I will occur again when gcc++ moves to the next version. The config method probably won't work then either. Since then, that hasn't been a problem; however, I really don't like doing an installworld until I have a kernel built. So, I simply created a script that did all of the steps except running mergemaster. I usually time it to see how long it takes and when it finishes I run mergemaster manually.
