1. Your SOURCEDIR is /usr/src/freebsd-current and not /usr/src.
Unlike etcupdate mergemaster checks for Makefile1.inc in the working
directory and asks to set SOURCEDIR accordingly:
*** /usr/src was not found.
Found Makefile.inc1 in the current directory.
Would you like to set SOURCEDIR to /mnt2/src? [no and exit]
Did you see this prompt?
2. Do you have (old) files (e.g. Makefile.inc1) or directories
(e.g. etc) in /usr/src?
Is this problem reproducible? Does it work if use -m switch, e.g:
'mergemaster -m .' or 'mergemaster -m /usr/src/freebsd-current'?
