 Installing just the Makefile would serve no purpose.  The point of
 buildkernel is that it can use the tools from buildworld to make the
 kernel.  That requires all the sources.  The old method of building
 kernels must be used unless you are going to install all sources.
 
 IMO, this is documentation bug.
