     You may have misremembered how you did it previously.  Try adding

BUILDKERNELS=PUMPKIN GENERIC

to your /etc/src.conf and removing the KERNCONF line from /etc/make.conf
before you run it again.  KERNCONF goes on the "make buildkernel" command,
not into /etc/make.conf, but should not be necessary at all if /etc/src.conf
contains the list of kernels to be built.  (See src.conf(5).)
