You can get config sources alone via anoncvs and do as the error message tells 
you.  It will be easier to update to a clean 5.4 and work from there however.

For the quick sollution you'd do something like:
$ cvs -d freebsdanoncvs at anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs co -rRELENG_5_4 \ 
src/usr.sbin/config
$ cd src/usr.sbin/config; make all install
