Should be:
armandeche:/home/NetBSD-1.6/src/sys/conf>ls
CVS                 files               newvers_stand.sh    param.c
Makefile.kern.inc   newvers.sh          osrelease.sh

> but there is a file with this name: /sys/arch/macppc/conf/Makefile.macppc
Should not be:
armandeche:/home/NetBSD-1.6/src/sys/arch/macppc/conf>ls
CVS          GENERIC_MD   POWERMAC     std.macppc
GENERIC      INSTALL      files.macppc

This file (Makefile.macppc) was removed on 26 august 2001 from the source
tree. Are you sure you used the right syssrc.tgz archive ?
looks like this is a 1.5.x source tree, or an old current.
