For the case where /usr/src is the same branch you can do this (I do this to 
test-compile cross-builds where the kernel tree isn't in /usr/src/sys):

% cd /usr/src
% make TARGET_ARCH=amd64 kernel-toolchain
% make TARGET_ARCH=amd64 buildkernel KERNSRCDIR=/home/jhb/work/p4/smpng \ 
NO_KERNELCLEAN=yes
