I can not answer the overall question but I do have some notes that
could be involved overall . . .

As I understand, buildworld depends on and uses some kernel source code
that is under, for example, /usr/src/sys/ even if no buildkernel is done.

If you are building and using other kernels with variant source code
that might not be compatible with the /usr/src/ tree and /usr/src/sys/
contained in it for the buildworld activity, the parts used by
buildworld instead need to be available for the buildworld activity.

You did not provide any notes for me to know if the above would be an
issue for you or not. If not, sorry for the noise.
