You run the old, traditional way to build a kernel. Did you rebuild world 
after you have cvsuped your sources? I would recommend that you do some 
cleanup and then build world and kernel the new way. 

Clean up /usr/obj (if exists):
# cd /usr/obj 
# chflags -R noschg *
# rm -rf *

Clean up sources:
# cd /usr/src
# make cleandir ; make cleandir  

Read /usr/src/UPDATING.

Build world and kernel:
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
# make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

Reboot into single user mode and install world.

# adjkerntz -i
# fsck -p
# mount -u /
# mount -a -t ufs
# swapon -a

# mergemaster -p
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld
# mergemaster
# reboot

For the details please read

Good luck!
