Yep, make install should do it.  That will install everything that's
necessary in /usr/X11R6-DRI (as long as that's how ProjectRoot is defined
in host.def), leaving some libs that you copied over that don't need 
rebuilding.  It shouldn't touch /usr/X11R6, but may try to install a few 
things in /etc/X11 I think, so you might want to back that up if you're 
worried.  I had a few symlink problems in /etc/X11 because RedHat has some 
differences with the stock X there.  I created my /usr/X11R6-DRI with 
lndir (like with the build tree), so that I don't have two copies of the 
original X libs that don't get rebuilt.  The symlinks are just replaced by 
the new stuff by make install, so it's easy to see what belongs to the DRI 
build.

When I update my CVS tree I just run make install again to rebuild/install
the stuff that's changed.  Make World shouldn't be necessary every time
unless there has been a merge from the trunk that includes core X changes.
