If libraries, kernel, compiler, and headers didn't change, then yes.  :-)
Otherwise, "make world kernel" and reboot is necessary.  So that
the subsequent "installworld" of the same world into the chroot'ed
environment will give you a _compatible_ (with the currently running
kernel) world.

Yes, I was planning to do it anyway, for the same reason.  You know,
it's a matter of removing three lines from Makefile.inc1.  :-)
It does not of course prevent you from building alpha on i386 and
then installing on alpha, all that needs to be done on alpha is:

/usr/bin/env MAKEOBJIRPREFIX=3D/usr/obj/alpha installworld
