Running a -STABLE kernel with an -CURRENT userland is a bad idea. As a
matter of fact, running a kernel older than your userland is surely
asking for trouble. This doesn't hold the other way round (usually),
that's why you first upgrade your kernel and then your userland. FYI:

These fixes failed, so your system isn't quite up-to-date. Usually
re-running postinstall with the failed fixes does the trick. If not, you
should be able to do these fixes manually (i.e. making the missing
directory, adding the missing groups/users, moving the x11 files, etc.)
