Now I don't need to post the error message I got trying to build 
emulators/dosbox under NetBSD, because I got just the same error message that 
you got,
where net/mDNSResponder is a dependency:

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/net/mDNSResponder
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/net/mDNSResponder

Stop.

(end)
A lot of things depend on mDNSResponder, so I hope somebody comes up with a fix.

I never heard of mDNSResponder, have no such package on my Linux (Slackware) 
system, even though I have SDL, cups and was successful building dosbox from 
source in Linux.
