I believe this is a known problem --- search through the archives for freebsd-hackers@ to see a discussion. The problem is a bug in cvs-1.11.2 as seen in RELENG_4 for about the last 2 months, since fixed in cvs-1.11.2.1 by the cvs developers and imported into HEAD about a fortnight ago. Looking at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/cvs/Makefile.in it seems that 1.11.2.1 was MFC'd to RELENG_4 about an hour and a half ago, so if you cvsup and buildworld now (or maybe wait a few hours to allow all the mirrors to catch up), then you should find your problem has disappeared.
