I've just cvsuped and found that to be so, excuse me for misinterpreting the page.

To answer your original question, then, if you haven't done so yourself already:

You need to update /usr/src and (probabley) rebuild kernel and world. Stick with 
releng_4, then follow the -stable instructions on the page. Otherwise if you don't
want to go through the hassle, my original advice should work wonders. :) 

All the best,
