You ain't nearly done.  You also have to copy the header files:

make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=<wherever> headers_install

Otherwise any files built will not be built against the new
kernel.

Also, although not strictly necessary, it would also be a good
idea to rebuild glibc, as all newly built programs will link
with this which in turn "links" with the kernel.

But you don't build ANYTHING anyway, so, in your case, these
are moot points.

 
For configuring the kernel, I copy over the .config from the
previous kernel, then "make oldconfig".  This time, it didn't
ask me to configure any new variables.
 

Why should it?  It is only a sub-minor version (6.11.X) and
essentially no different from the 6.5.0 version.

Only an idiot would waste time with building all the kernel
sub-minor versions.

What retard would want a .config file that includes
hundreds of useless modules (kitchen sink) and is riddled
with hundreds of sub-optimum settings (including security)?

You would be laughed off of any Gentoo or LFS forum.
