Did you upgrade userland too, or did you try to cheese it by just
ebuilding the kernel?

This all points to libkvm being out of date, which ONLY happens on
-CURRENT & -STABLE if you are tracking those releases, or if you upgrade
the kernel source on a -RELEASE without upgrading the corresponding
userland.
