Thanks for your input. Yep, that seemed working with a few things that I did:

1) removed all source and ports and csup/portsnap them
2) In the src.conf file, I figured out that disabling WPA_SUPPLICANT
(#WITHOUT_WPA_SUPPLICANT=true") is preventing the build world.
3) In the kernel file, I have to change from COMPAT_IA32 to
COMPAT_FREEBSD32 (the former is obsoleted in FreeBSD9-RELEASE) to
complete the build kernel.

BTW, I am just wondering where and how to specify any kernel patches
to be applied to a nanobsd image? Could not figure out any
documentation.

Thank you for the pointers.
