At this point you shuld be in /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf.
cd ../compile/GENERIC_NCR as instructed, and you should now be in 
/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/GENERIC_NCR.

You're building the kernel the old-fashioned way:

cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/GENERIC_NCR
make cleandepend && make depend && make

I like to set the KERNCONF variable in /etc/src.conf and/or on the 
commandline, and do the build from /usr/src:

make -C /usr/src buildkernel

or:

make -C /usr/src KERNCONF=ZFS buildkernel

If the kernel is compiled the new and preferred way, you install it by 
running:

make -C /usr/src installkernel

or:

make -C /usr/src KERNCONF=ZFS installkernel

DESTDIR may be set on the commandline to point to the desired rootfs.
