I am following the instructions in UPGRADING > under "To update from 3.x to 4.x stable". The general comment is that you have to be at 3.5 to do that. However, Engelshall had a process that worked for almost every concievable difficulty at 3.5 > 4.x. There were somethings fixed in the week or so after 4.2 was released and you might consider 4-stable. Some things in Engleshall's procedure are out of date such as mv'ing /MYKERNEL to /kernel but it touches on some of your problems. See http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=51796+57580+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-stable/20001015.freebsd-stable If you have to fight upgrading and making two worlds (3.5 and 4.2-R), a binary upgrade followed by making your world and kernel will be much faster. The 4.x buildworld just about requires 2x as long as a buildworld in 3.x. I use the buildworld sequence from /usr/src/UPDATING almost religiously because I cvsup everytime I do a build. I also like the idea of building everything before I start the installs. In my situation, I found that putting the process into a script would have everything built when I would go back to check on the status. Doing the individual steps typically left me at just the end of the buildworld.
