You only have the kernel sources, you need the rest of the base sources
and a make buildworld before you can compile the kernel.

You might want to consider installing cvsup (pkg_add -rv
cvsup-without-gui) and getting the latest version of the complete
sources.

for more details, the handbook is always a good source of information.

Cheers

Tim
