 Indeed :)
 I've just retried (with no compiler flags things) and here's the result :

# ls -alh /netbsd /onetbsd
# /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/GENERIC/netbsd
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  5.6M Jan  8 22:30 /netbsd
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  5.6M Dec  2 03:49 /onetbsd
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  5.6M Jan 10 09:07 /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/GENERIC/netbsd

# size /netbsd /onetbsd /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/GENERIC/netbsd
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5290904  119896  591880 6002680  5b97f8 /netbsd
5017811  163728  628752 5810291  58a873 /onetbsd
5017051  163792  628752 5809595  58a5bb /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/GENERIC/netbsd

so sum up :
/netbsd		- customized GENERIC with devices commented
/onetbsd	- initial GENERIC (from install)
/usr/.../netbsd	- GENERIC compiled normally (aka, w/o any comp flags in mk.conf)

the nice news is that w/o the flags, the kernel compiles OK.
