Don't just build a new kernel. Your kernel and userland will get out
of sync and possibly break things in subtle (or not subtle) ways.

Read:

  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
  /usr/src/UPDATING

Generally,

  # cd /usr/src
  # make buildworld
  # make kernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
  (reboot to be safe, but usually not necessary)
  # make installworld
  # mergemaster
  (reboot and done)
