And did you checkout /usr/src with that local copy? And did you do a make 
buildworld, to populate /usr/obj with the output of that new tree.

ie:
cd /usr
mv src src.old
cvs -d/home/cms/cvs_root co -r RELENG_4_9 src
cd src
make buildworld
# might be sensible to do, not strictly necessary:
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL
# make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL
# reboot
# make installworld
# mergemaster
cd release
make release ....options...
