Adding the following to sys/modules/dc/Makefile should fix this:
.if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == sparc64
SRCS+=	opt_ofw_pci.h
.endif

This is strange, it rather looks like local-mac-address is always true
for these interfaces, or at least for the second one. You could add a
printf() to check if the call to OF_getprop() fails and the node address
then gets read via OF_getetheraddr().
