sounds good (if you did a make world or make installworld, not just make
buildworld)

because this is a known problem. 4.6.2 was the latest release that
didn't include sed -i. -STABLE after that contains sed -i.
you could investigate that by checking idents:
freebsd4-6-2% ident `which sed`
/usr/bin/sed:
$FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/sed/compile.c,v 1.13.2.4 2002/04/26 07:43:50 sobomax Exp $
$FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/sed/main.c,v 1.9.2.4 2001/11/29 05:22:44 mikeh Exp $

a recent system should produce these versions:
$FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/sed/compile.c,v 1.13.2.8 2002/08/17 05:47:06 tjr Exp $
$FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/sed/main.c,v 1.9.2.7 2002/08/06 10:03:29 fanf Exp $
$FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/sed/misc.c,v 1.3.2.2 2002/07/17 09:35:56 tjr Exp $
$FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/sed/process.c,v 1.10.2.9 2002/08/17 05:47:06 tjr Exp $
if not, you screwed something on either cvsup,build or install
