Well, to answer my own question: you need to compile sed first. This is the
steps I did

cd /usr/src/usr.bin/sed
sudo make build
cd /usr/src
sudo make buildworld

It's not finished the build yet but its on the way. Since nobody else seems
to have had this problem it probably isn't worth looking into too much
further. If more people are bitten then perhaps an entry in
/usr/src/UPDATING?
