I think that you got the sources for -current rather than -stable.
I remember somebody trying to upgrade to recently getting such errors.
If that is what you are trying thenn I suggest you read /usr/src/UPDATING
which contain the right procedure for upgrading from 3.4-stable to
4.0-current.

If, on the other hand, you were just trying track -stable  then you got the
wrong sources with cvsup. Try again, this time asking for the 3.x-stable
branch instead of -current.

Hope this helps.
