We never guarantee this.  What we guarantee though, is that
you'll be able to build your kernel through this sequence:

	make buildworld
	make buildkernel

This takes care of upgrade issues.  In this case, the
upgrade issue is that sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/Makefile
relies on the new spelling of NO_MAN, and you still
have your /usr/share/mk filled with the old stuff.
Two options:

1.  You follow the supported upgrade path above, which
    is also documented in src/UPDATING (COMMON ITEMS,
    "To build a kernel").

2.  You follow "To just build a kernel when you know
    that it won't mess you up" also from src/UPDATING,
    after manually updating your /usr/share/mk:

	cd /usr/src/share/mk
	make install
