Okay, it turns out that I was editing the wrong file. Instead of editing
the configuration file that was in the /etc/src/sys/i386/conf directory,
I was editing the configuration file that I had redirected to a new
directory, as indicated by the handbook. I guess I was under the
impression (newbie!) that having created a symbolic link somehow allowed
me to edit the redirected file. Anyway, once I edited the correct
configuration file I was able to go ahead with the compilation and the
install. Everything worked perfectly, and the system rebooted without
incident---and faster.

Thanks, Joshua. Here's the requested stuff, starting with the output of
uname -a:
<snip>
Next, the configuration file itself:
#
# GENERIC -- Generic kernel configuration file for FreeBSD/i386
<snip>
# PCI Ethernet NICs that use the common MII bus controller code.
# NOTE: Be sure to keep the 'device miibus' line in order to use these
NICs!
#device miibus # MII bus support
^^^^
<snip>
device vr # VIA Rhine, Rhine II
<snip>
Finally, the error message:
<snip>
../../../dev/usb/if_aue.c:105:23: miibus_if.h: No such file or directory
OK, you need to uncomment the device miibus line (marked above). It has to be
enabled if you want to enable VIA Rhine support, which you have in your
config.

No dice. I made the change to the file, uncommenting the device miibus
line, and I receive the same error message.
