a "commands()" command was added to make's syntax a few days ago.
what you need to do is update your make before you install the new .mk
files.  here's what i'd do:

# cd /usr/share/mk
# cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot co -p -r1.126 sharesrc/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk > bsd.prog.mk
# cd /usr/src/usr.bin/make
# make
# make install

assuming, of course, that your source tree is in sync and that's the
only problem.  :)
