If I were you and I didn't understand why /usr/bin/sed and /usr/bin/ 
uname I would start by trying to understand why they disappeared if  
they ever existed.

You may have a failing disk. Run Disk Utilities to verify your disk.

Something you did may have deleted them and unless you know you may  
repeat the action.

If you have access to a mac machine of the same arch you should be  
able to copy the missing files into place. But if sed and uname are  
missing what else may be missing.

What is the output of:

file /usr/bin/uname
file /usr/bin/sed
