Buildworld, no.

Buildkernel, yes.

Remember, the correct dance for an upgrade these days includes the following:

make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
<reboot, single-user>
make installworld
mergemaster
<reboot>

If you have a custom kernel configuration, you can use it
automatically at stage 2 & 3 by including KERNCONF in /etc/make.conf.
Otherwise, you must include it on the command line.  On a
three-way-boot laptop, remembering which config you have at the moment
is a pain.  :-)
