Nope, that's not it!

I had already remade make and reinstalled /usr/share/mk, but I just did
it again to be certain.  Still get same error.

Aha!  Got it!  I looked at the make file, and it doesn't use make.inc
files from /usr/share/mk - it uses make files from the pkgsrc/mk
directory!  cvs update there, and it works now!
