 You need new geom_part.ko or old userland part. There was change which make
new gpart userland utility incompatible with old kernel module.

 It is why source upgrade procedure "officialy" requires reboot after
install kernel and before installworld.

 You could repeat re-installation of "gpart bootkode -b /boot/pmbr" after
reboot. Now your bootcode (pmbr) has not been upgraded. I don't think it
will cause a problem, as last changes to it was made long time ago :-)
