I can't help with the actual syntax error, but from the path names
involved here, it looks like you:

1) are using an alternate location for src (/usr/srcs not /usr/src),

2) are trying to build FreeBSD 9.x on an 8.4-STABLE box
(/usr/obj/usr/srcs/src9)

Is that correct?  You might want to provide /etc/make.conf and
/etc/src.conf from this system or other details of the "build framework"
you might be using.  That might help/pertain to the situation.
