stewart,

It's probably an issue with outdated source.

do this:

cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
make all install clean
rehash

... then create a supfile ... something like this:

ee /etc/cvsupfile (to start the ee editor).  Add the following lines:

*default host=cvsup3.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_3
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all

hit <ESC> to exit, and save the file.  Then, issue this command from the 
command line:

cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile 

This will update your /usr/src directory with relevant code for FreeBSD 
5.3-RELEASE

Finally, start from where you started:

cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make installworld
... etc

Make sure you read /usr/src/UPDATING (all the way through) before you restart 
"make buildworld"

good luck!
