I've been trying to compile xfree86 4.1.0 on my machine and I'm seeing
this exact same problem. It starts during the make Makefiles stage when it
enters xfree/xc/lib/GL and deduces that GL/Makefile is up to date. For
some reason the netbsd make is not noticing that GL is a sub directory of
lib/GL and that it should create a makefile in there.

cd to xfree/xc/lib/GL and do a:
make -dA ONESUBDIR=GL ONECURDIR=lib/GL/ IMAKETOP=../../.. IMAKEPREFIX=../ GL/Makefile 2>&1 | tee make.log

`GL/Makefile' is up to date.

I do know that this is strictly limited to the netbsd make. If you try to
build using GNU make you will not have any problems.

I've also tried this out using a freshly cvs'd copy from XFree86, and it
has the same problem.
