Not on grub. I quote:
It is also possible to do "make install" if you have lilo
installed to suit the kernel makefiles,
but you may want to check your particular lilo setup first.

But, on my grub based system, I have to:

1. "make bzlilo" which creates vmlinuz and System.map
and puts them in / and not in /boot. (make bzlilo is easier to use
than bzimage)

2. cp /vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-x.y.x ; cp /System.map /boot/System.map-x.y.z

3. rm /boot/System.map ; ln -s /boot/System.map-x.y.z /boot/System.map

4. vi /boot/grub.conf (or /etc/grub.conf) and put in new kernel boot entry.

5. sync;sync;shutdown -r now
