Do you keep base system and kernel in sync? It's always a good idea.
Did you compile and install the kernel? It's not a good idea use a
recent kernel sources to build modules but use an old kernel itself.

You didn't show the platform. The output of "uname -a" is OK.
And it's always a good idea to show the error message. (BTW usually
two or tree good lines are showed followed by a full error message.) 
Did you try to locate the file? May be at another computer? Here it is
for me:
-----
srv# locate opt_global.h
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC/opt_global.h

I just tried to compile fusefs-kmod with a global autofile setup. It
succeeded at:
-----
# uname -a
FreeBSD srv.sem.ipt.ru 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #0: Tue Jul 24 19:30:05 MSD 2007     bsam at srv.sem.ipt.ru:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Since the file opt_global.h is found (at my system) only at /usr/obj
directory I'd quess you dodn't have kernel sources and kernel binary
at sinc (i.e. didn't compile the kernel after cvsupping).
