I'm cc'in this to quesitons since I had the same problem on an i386. I installed 5.0-RELEASE directly from the CDs.
ran cvsup -g -L2 ports-supfile and standard-supfile make buildworld -DNOGAMES -DNO_FORTRAN make buildkernel -DNOGAMES -DNO_FORTRAN KERNCONF=PHILIP mergemaster -p make installkernel -DNOGAMES -DNO_FORTRAN KERNCONF=PHILIP make installworld -DNOGAMES -DNO_FORTRAN mergemaster the kernel targets work. and I am actually running that kernel 5.0-CURRENT RELEASE #3 right now. the buildworld failes make: don't know how to make /usr/src/sys/sys/_types.h" Interestingly I haven't seen any tinderbox failures come through to any lists about this yet. since I see it below, in addition to make doing it, I've run rm -rf /usr/obj before doing the buildworld.
