You need to build the XDEV stuff for the build environment.

Something like: make -C /usr/src XDEV=arm XDEV_ARCH=armv6

should do the trick.

Are you aware that we have FreeBSD/arm images on FTP now?  Not that I am
trying to deter you from building your own images, but if you're just
looking for an image to install to get your RPI running FreeBSD, we have
