AFAIU, the symlink USE flag just updates the /usr/src/linux link
automatically at install time (although I have never used it).
kerninst configures (using a user-provided .config file), compiles,
and installs the kernel in the correct location (/boot if using GRUB2,
a more complex location if using Gummiboot), and then it updates the
configuration of the boot manager (either GRUB2 or Gummiboot).
If you set the symlink USE flag, then using kerninst is even easier,
since you don't neet to eselect the new kernel.
Regards.
