The KSE mark III update just went in, so things are very unstable right now. > I just finished cvsupping, and the main sources built just fine.

At this point, the only way to build -current on a -stable system is make buildworld; make buildkernel. Make sure that KERNCONF is defined in /etc/make.conf. You'll probably want to read -current and cvs-all for a while before you finish the upgrade though....
