I think you are doing something wrong. I saw this message and proceeded to cvsup ports-all and rebuild my system. I had no problem doing that. I followed the example in /usr/src/UPDATING on upgrading to 4.x-stable. The test system is not running a kern_secure level and I boot into single user mode and run "adjkerntz -i" before I mount my file systems. I kind of wonder if you have a user games or if you have some sort of permission problem on your files systems.
