Support for FreeBSD 8 ended sometime in 2015, FreeBSD 11 did not come out until mid 2016 and if it was a recent update i can see why the huge jump could cause update issues. The answer to what caused your issue was most likely in the UPDATING file in the source directory.
I have been using FreeBSD since 3.x in 1999 and have only been bitten by source updates when I failed to follow procedure and read the UPDATING file. Anyway source update from 11.2 to 12 worked for me fine.
