If you csup'd source as you say above, you are now on 7-STABLE.
There have been some changes in the atheros driver, and I noticed your
build stopped there.

Look at the new GENERIC conf file:

device          ath             # Atheros pci/cardbus NIC's
device          ath_hal         # Atheros HAL (Hardware Access Layer)
options         AH_SUPPORT_AR5416       # enable AR5416 tx/rx descriptors
device          ath_rate_sample # SampleRate tx rate control for ath

If your custom configuration file comes from editing a 7.0-RELEASE e.g.
GENERIC, it will fail. Use the newer GENERIC as a starting point, or
simply replace the atheros entries with the ones above.

This change is also documented in /usr/src/UPDATING
