Mostly, if you have done some changes and haven't updated the kernel in couple of weeks. Its good to pull the updated source and compile it with you changes.

The good idea is to read the make file, the comments inside are helpful this is what I first started with during my early dragonfly days :) Feel free to ask questions on the mailing lists....
