Because "make installworld" will find any compiled programs under that path, and copy them to their destination. /usr/src doesn't contain executables or libraries[1]. The sources from /usr/src are compiled to executables and saved under /usr/obj. If you don't have machines of completely different architectures, you can buildworld once, then mount /usr/obj and /usr/src as many times as you want and install the same userland/kernel to a lot of machines. - Giorgos [1] Not 100% true, but if you follow the recommended instructions for doing upgrades through source, this is what happens.
