Yes, you should recompile the kernel after doing a "make buildworld".  
If you built a kernel before, it was compiled against the old header 
files and may not correspond with the new userland built via "make 
buildworld".

No, try:

# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL
# make installkernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL
# reboot

...and then, if the system boots, perform the "make installworld" and 
mergemaster steps as described in UPDATING.
