Yes, my bad, just checked and my /usr/src doesn't match the kernel.

Thank you for the explanation.

No, I wouldn't want that.
It's just that I thought the ports system
never uses anything from /usr/src.

Perhaps the ports which do use /sys should
print a warning to the user. Something like
"before building this port, make sure your
installed world version matches the version
of your FreeBSD sources."

By the way, what would happen if I try
to build those ports with no /sys at all?
