Hmmm, after going through a number of iterations of:

bc@pcharnkov /usr/src$ cvs checkout -d sys freebsd/src/sys
bc@pcharnkov /usr/src$ cvs checkout -d usr.sbin/config freebsd/src/usr.sbin/config 
[yadda yadda, cvs tree on local machine is cvsup'd daily]
bc@pcharnkov /usr/src/usr.sbin/config$ make
[yadda yadda, its a wee P133]
bc@pcharnkov /usr/src/sys/i386/conf$ /usr/src/usr.sbin/config/config GENERIC
config: line 16: Unknown machine type
config: line 16: syntax error
..(lines 17,18,19,20,35,36)...
config: line 38: syntax error
config: can't open ../conf/devices.(null)

and similar, I got frustrated and deleted the /usr/src/{usr.sbin,sys,CVS}
trees and started again.  I *hate* incorrect CVS data. 

(And yes, it does compile now)

Point being, if it doesn't work, use a bigger hammer. ;)

CVS, now more ways to shoot yourself in the foot.
