Do you want to give some more detail.  The 6.0 config won't work on a
4.11 config file.  Something similar to the following should work:

# cd somewhere
# cvs -d /usr/ncvs co -rRELENG_4_11 -P src
# cd src
# make buildworld
# make KERNCONF=MIRALINK.serial_console buildkernel

It may be possible to avoid doing a full buildworld if you just need the
kernel but you have to build the cross build tools and use them to build
the kernel.
