You don't appear to have a 4.x Makefile.

That's not the correct tag for 4-STABLE. You want,

  tag=RELENG_4

No, it is not. CVSup does not make a tarball.

I dunno where this file came from.

I'm guessing you just rebuilt your 3.x world?

What is the result of,

  $ grep '\$(FreeBSD|Id)' /usr/src/Makefile

Just wanna see what source bundle you do have there. But what you need
to do is actually CVSup 4-STABLE.
