Sorry - I assumed you were running cvsup to get the repository itself 
rather than running it with tag=. in your supfile.

Can you confirm that you've

o Run cvsup (with tag=. in the supfile) to update /usr/src and 
  /usr/ports

o Rebuilt and reinstalled your machine with some variants of 
  ``make *world'' and ``make *kernel'' in /usr/src.

o Run mergemaster or otherwise fixed up your /etc directory

o Rebooted

o Tried to build a port.
