It seems you've fetched the kernel sources only. In this case, you can't
do a make buildkernel since no Makefile is there ... try to fetch src-base
too with cvsup or try to build the new kernel with config, make depend
etc. In any case, you might run into problems because system binaries and
kernel originate from different system versions.

You should prefer to fetch src-all and to rebuild system and kernel
although this takes more time.
