What version of -current are you running? I have an explicit check for the -current version in the kernel debugging code. Check "sysctl -a kern.osreldate" and see if your system is >= 500032. Also, you could try "make deinstall", "make -DNOCLEANDEPENDS clean", and "make install" (I think this is the right set to remove the port, clean the local work directory, rebuild and reinstall). Another check to make sure the patch worked is to verify that /usr/ports/devel/gdb52/work/gdb-5.2/gdb/kvm-fbsd.c now exists.
