I solved it by deleting /usr/src and doing

svn checkout https://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/base/stable/10 /usr/src

Now I've got:

# marioLAP/root [14:21:31]
[/usr/src]>svn info

# marioLAP/root [14:17:43]
[/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf]>grep vt *
GENERIC:# vt is the new video console driver
GENERIC:device          vt
GENERIC:device          vt_vga
GENERIC:device          vtnet                   # VirtIO Ethernet device
NOTES:device            vtnet           # VirtIO Ethernet device

Since I'm at work right now on this machine, do you think that just for
testing, a make kernel would suffice or do I need a full buildworld for
that?

Thanks for all your help :) !
