If this is true, perhaps the "build" man page should be updated. Here's what the man page has to say on the topic:

The ``approved'' method of updating your system from the latest sources
is:


           make buildworld
           make buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO
           make installkernel KERNCONF=FOO
           make installworld
           mergemaster

After running these commands a system reboot is required...

This gives the impression that you're safe running all the builds without rebooting, especially as the word "approved" is used.

Into single user...

: 4. make installworld
: 5. mergemaster
: 6. *reboot*

This is the order that's recommended in UPDATING since 3.something.
