Well, you can:

	cd /usr/src
	make buildworld TARGET_ARCH=amd64
	make buildkernel TARGET_ARCH=amd64

assuming a module is connected to the build in sys/modules/Makefile.
You can save huge time by only building a toolchain:

	cd /usr/src
	make kernel-toolchain TARGET_ARCH=amd64
	make buildkernel TARGET_ARCH=amd64

Or, if you want to compile a single module only (and that's the
fastest way to cross-build), assuming it's in sys/modules/midi:

	cd /usr/src
	make kernel-toolchain TARGET_ARCH=amd64
	make _obj SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=sys/modules/midi TARGET_ARCH=amd64
	make _depend SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=sys/modules/midi TARGET_ARCH=amd64
	make everything SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=sys/modules/midi TARGET_ARCH=amd64

Please see the build(7) manpage, it talks a bit about cross-builds.
