I have tried the same thing last week. All I can say is that you
definitely need to run the same -current to build a release of
the tree. So, do an installworld first and reboot (or fetch a
-current release of the net for now, such as I did) and then
go into src/release and follow the instructions in the Makefile.
Something like

	make release CHROOTDIR=/some/dir

is required. The CHROOT is the problem with older releases. If
you don't run the same kernel, your libc and make etc wil run into
problems. I haven't taken this to success, maybe others can add.
