Do you have a

KERNCONF=KENSHI


in /etc/make.conf. Otherwise you have to use


make buildworld KERNCONF=KENSHI

The config method is still supported after you have done an 
installworld. You can force your way into a really bad situation if 
you do the installworld first.

Are you cvsuping src-all?
