Chris,

better late than never.

I'm surprised that you write the patch applied cleanly since it looks as 
if you tried to apply it to your repository in /home/dcvs (which holds 
the entire history of all source files, not just the current tree).

What you need to do before patching is to checkout a source tree from 
this repository:

# cd /usr
# cvs -d /home/dcvs co src

This creates /usr/src. Try to apply the patch there and follow the 
instructions in the build(7) man page to rebuild your system.
