Ok, it sounds like the sources you downloaded are not the most up to date. You want to point your ftp at releng22.freebsd.org, go to pub/FreeBSD and then go to the directory with the latest 2.2.6-<INSERTDATEHERE>-BETA. I can guarantee you that these sources will compile. It might help you to have step by step instructions for this process. I have a web page that is a rewrite of the old "upgrade from source" tutorial, and it also has a link to the new page on it now. Check out http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/upgrade.html and let me know if that's helpful for you. You want to pay particular attention to the section that talks about using the -CLOBBER flag since you're upgrading from a much older release.
