Check the archives, this questions comes up often.

Generally, read 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html 
and /usr/src/UPDATING after your source tree has been 
updated.  /usr/src/UPDATING should contain most common 'gotcha' type 
issues.  Read it carefully.

Again, check the archives.  Many fine posts are there for you to use.
