I wonder if your source update didn't correctly download, mine starts 
with:

Updating Information for FreeBSD current users
...[snip]...
Items affecting the ports and packages system can be found in
/usr/ports/UPDATING.  Please read that file before running portupgrade.

         hastctl(8)'s `status' command output changed to terse one-liner

         Scripts using this should switch to `list' command or be

         With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
         depended on during installworld.  "mergemaster -p" can be used

I haven't a clue how to fix your non booting system short of booting off 
a FreeBSD disc, going to live CD, mounting the filesystems in a temp 
location and doing a buildworld/kernel over again with correct source 
tree.
