Either that or RELENG_4_8, where the latter only gets absolutely
critical fixes.

You mean "make buildworld"?  If not, please try the recommended
procedure before asking for help.

In the former, only if you had "adopted" the source tree first (see
the cvsup faq).  In the latter, no, not necessarily.

Moving from 5.x to 4.x through a source "upgrade" is going to be a bit
tricky, even for experts.  Cleaning out the stuff that no longer
applies is definitely part of the problem.
