The line that you pasted is the one causing the error. With the limited 
information you provided, I would say that you need to either run make 
cleandir (two times) in /usr/src and delete /usr/src/obj, or to be safe, 
cd /usr/src && mrm -rf *
After that, you'll have to run cvsup again, then attempt the make 
buildworld again.

If that doesn't work, please include the following info:
Hardware, the lines in your cvsup file that say tag=
