"make world" doesn't always result in a working system, which is why the
procedure in UPDATING has many more steps (but which should be safe[r]).
You haven't provided an error message as to what happens when you try to
cvsup; what happens when you try? For that matter, you haven't told us which
version of FreeBSD you are running and what branch of the sources you were
building world with...

Oh, it's absolutely certain that you could recover in other ways, but it also
might be the case that doing a clean reinstall is faster than any of these
alternatives.
