You didn't tell us which -stable you were trying to cvsup. If it was
RELENG_4, you have to read /usr/src/UPDATING. It tells you that you
can try the make world but if it doesn't work, don't complain about
problems until you have tried the build[install]kernel method. 

There are also some instructions on how to upgrade from something
other than 4.x. It is been too long for me to comment on building
3.x-stable. 

BTW, I never liked make world because I wanted to see things build
before I tried to install anything.
