If you really did follow the instructions everything SHOULD work fine, I have cvsup'd many times and so long as you do it by the UPDATING file I have never had any problems (besides new/changed driver issues)... It seems to me that something MUST be out of synch... Make sure your stable-supfile is getting everything... Do the install in single user mode if your not already... Clean out /usr/obj before a build, some of the files you may need to allow deleting on with the chflags command... You are specifying what kernel to build right? make buildkernel KERNEL=GENERIC unless you have a custom kernel then specify that... If you are doing all this, you should try removing all of the /usr/src and /usr/obj and remove the cvsup logs and get everything again...
