You should be able to back out fairly easily in case of most problems.
When you reboot to single-user mode with the new kernel, you can test
whatever you think you need to (device presence/functionality,
networking, etc) before installing world.  If you don't like the
results, just rename or delete /boot/kernel, rename /boot/kernel.old
to /boot/kernel, and reboot, no damage done (usually).

I can't speak authoritatively, but I expect you're fine.  My problem
appears to have a very narrow scope.
