/usr/src/sys may well be self contained, however I have never tried building it without the full source tree nor have I spent the time to look through the code to see if it is. I have found that the 15 minutes it takes to build, install, and reboot to install the new kernel isn't that big a burden since we have built a fair amount of redundancy into the services that are provided by OpenBSD.
