As other have reported, userland and the kernel are out of sync. See
/usr/src/UPDATING for details on this. Loosely:
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNEL=your_kernel_name
make installkernel KERNEL=yourkernel_name
make installworld
mergemaster

The final two items should be done in single user mode followed by a
reboot.  And always check the UPDATING file for other possible
steps/gotchas any time you cvsup.

This is very odd! / is usually 50-100 MB. 9GB is MUCH bigger than is
needed. I'd use that about 2 GB of that space to expand /usr, although
2G is probably adequate, it can fade fast if you build many ports. I'd
put some in my /home and /home1 partitions, too. But this has nothing
to do with the nlist error you are seeing.
