That appears to have been fixed in today's sources (May 30). I think
the -current sources hadn't gotten updated between May 26 and May 30.
I was able to compile pppd by commenting out the code that referenced
SIOPCSARP and was able to get it to run [I'm connected via ppp right
now]. I haven't verified today's sources yet - I just finished
compiling the libraries and most binaries, but haven't installed them
yet.
I did get an error trying to build kdump - it has an include of
"/sys/kern/syscalls.h". It would appear that it is supposed to
be including the system calls names, but it's using an absolute
path. If /sys is supposed to be the the kernel source tree, that
would make it a bit messy on my system. I've been running with
several kernel source trees lately :-).

I would think you should be able to build /sbin/config.new using the
old kernel.
