Possibly, and I say possibly, and this isn't to be taken personally:
diving in before depth of the water. ;-)

At the very least, you should have run "mergemaster -p" before
make buildworld as this is a giant step (e.g. 4.8->4.11)..  Did you?

Probably the issue is simply the huge distance in time/development
between 4.8 and 6.0.  See below.

Probably not.  A fresh install would have a benefit: you could re-format
your disks as UFS2.  However, some people have been able to get from 4.11 to
5.X with cvsup/buildworld, and the 5.X -> 6.X jump is "a piece of 
cake".  You
just have to do the jump from 4 to 5 carefully, and from a much more recent
4.X codebase than 4.8 .....

Dunno.  Probably not natively, but maybe; there is, of course, the 
COMPAT_FREEBSD4
stuff, too.

Here's what I would try.  Upgrade to RELENG_4 via the cvsup/buildworld 
process,
read Bruce Mah's 4.11-5.X Migration Guide, and be sure and include
"mergemaster -p" in your buildworld cycle.

HTH,
