I had that issue before and it was because I did as Philip pointed out above.
Below is quote from http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html
The source files available for download from the FTP servers are separated into
two files to minimize the download time for those wishing to work with only one
part of the tree. The two files aresys.tar.gz, which contains the files used to
create the kernel, and src.tar.gz which contains all the other "userland"
utilities except the ports tree and the X11 sources. In general, however, you
will usually want both of them installed. Assuming the downloaded files,
src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz, are in /usr:
# cd /usr/src
# tar xzf ../sys.tar.gz
# tar xzf ../src.tar.gz
# cd /usr
# tar xzf xenocara.tar.gz
# tar xzf ports.tar.gz
Not all people will wish to unpack all the file sets, but as the system must be
kept in sync, you will generally need to set up all parts of the tree.
