i do believe that did it,
/usr/src/tooldir.NetBSD-3.0-powerpc/bin/nbmake-macppc depend
went off without a hitch!
/usr/src/tooldir.NetBSD-3.0-powerpc/bin/nbmake-macppc
ultimately failed:

( i recall a similar failure when making pf as an lkm for the 202 kernel, 
i suspect i have notes on that already )
