I don't think this is a good idea as it's not actually required.
The sys/ part have traditionally been standalone.  And if you're
not upgrading then "buildkernel" is just a convenience alias for
config/make method.  Actually this method is always used except
that in the buildkernel case it will use an upgraded toolchain
if it was previously built by "buildworld".
