rebuilding/reinstalling  world may be very interesting as some system
programs uses some structs which size are changed by the patch.
But you can skip this part if you are *absolutely* sure to NEVER use
such programs (system's setkey and a few other ones I don't remember).

reinstalling /usr/include headers is necessary to export the correct
versions of some headers (net/pfkeyv2.h, some stuff in udp headers,
etc...).

rebuilding ipsec-tools port is necessary when your headers have been
exported, to let the port's configure detect that your system now have
NAT-T support.
