cvsup
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
reboot
make installworld
mergemaster

Is the way to go, I think.  I had a very similar problem to yours
on one machine but I had another that I did as above so I just
copied the new kernel form the machine that was update correctly
to the one I had screwed up.  It then ran fine but since I hadn't
finished an installworld I still seemed to have binaries that
gave me a signal 11 so I couldn't do an installworld.  I just
used scp -rp and copied /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /lib /usr/lib
from the good machine and everything worked perfectly.  I was then
able to do a new cvsup - make world and kernel with no problem.
I've been updating it daily just to be sure.

I hope this helps.
