I had a box like that once what I did was,

check /etc/make.conf for the flags you want/need
cd /usr/obj ; chflags -R noschg * ; rm -rf * ; ls -aCF
cd /usr/src/
make clean && make clean

then cvsup

make buildworld
make buildkernel installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
shutdown now (single user mode)
make installworld
/usr/sbin/mergemaster
cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall
make all install clean
reboot
* Then customize a new kernel to suit your needs and reboot once more.

Now that's just what worked for me, might not even be the same problem.

Good luck,
