Read the mentioned doc again. Also have a look at the FAQ.
What you loaded with cvsup is _not_ a source tree you can put
into /usr/src and compile stuff from.
What you have is the cvs tree with changelog etc.
You are only half way there. And using {prefix,base}=/usr doesnt allow
you to go any further.
1.)
Clean up your cvsup.config error and the fallout:
change your cvsup config to {prefix,base}=/cvs instead of /usr.
# sudo mkdir -p /cvs/src
# sudo mv /usr/src/* /cvs/src/
# sudo mv /usr/CVSROOT /cvs/
2.)
# cd /usr && sudo opencvs -qd/cvs get -P src
That would give you a sourcetree you can compile the kernel from.
This is just the same stuff that is on the mentioned page!
Don't stop reading halfway through.
3.)
Read the docs if you want to know how to update in the future.
Perhaps http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html might help you understand
the issue. That page shows how to get a source checkout without the
"intermediate" step of mirroring the cvs tree locally.
