Oh, I didn't introduce the term make world here, but I liked it and
thus copied it. [as everyone probably knew by then I was doing
cross-builds including packaging, a *bsd make world is not exactly
what I do.]
What I mean is: all packages should be automagically buildable: fetch,
unpack, build, repack. The 'make world' aspect: do that for all
packages available, is something that will follow as soon as all
packages behave.

Ok, just a matter of definition, so it seems.
