I may be stating the obvious, but being before the installworld shouldn't that be a 'mergemaster -p' and not just mergemaster?
 
>From the FreeBSD Handbook:
 
After installkernel finishes successfully, you should boot in single user mode (i.e. using boot -s from the loader prompt). Then run:# mount -a -t ufs
# mergemaster -p
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld
# mergemaster
# reboot
