It does! I've just compiled a kernel based on GENERIC with these
changes and it compiles without problem:
#cpu  I486_CPU
#cpu  I586_CPU
cpu  I686_CPU

options  EXT2FS
options  IPFIREWALL
options  IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options  IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
options  MAC
options  GEOM_BDE
device  sound

One of the error messages you saw said:
/usr/src/sys/modules/splash/bmp/splash_bmp.c:60:
error: syntax error before "mod"

Perhaps that file got corrupted somehow.  You could delete the
/usr/src/sys directory (after backing up your config file) and
re-install the sys source from CD.  You could compare it with
its CVS Log entries if you can find them, it has moved but there
are traces at:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/modules/splash/bmp/Attic/splash_bmp.c

Or you could simply manage without splash screens for now by
commenting out the device splash line in your kernel config.

There should be no need unless you want to track STABLE.
