You need to have the full set of sources installed, because 'make buildkernel' is only needed if you're upgrading the system. If you only update your kernel sources and leave userland untouched, your system isn't guaranteed to work. If you don't update your kernel sources and just want to recompile your kernel to reconfigure it, the old 'config; make' method is still acceptable (and in your case, the only option).
