Wewp, I don't know which frame buffer to enable.  I did, however, comment out 
what Simon indicated.   This resulted in:

cc  -O2 -Wall -Werror -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes  -Wpointer-arith -Wno-main -G 0  -mno-abicalls
-mno-half-pic -I. -I../../../../arch -I../../../.. -nostdinc -I../../../../../gnu/sys -DMIPS1 -DLKM
-DNKMEMCLUSTERS=1024 -DHZ=256 -DMAXUSERS=64 -D_KERNEL -Dpmax  -c ../../../../arch/pmax/dev/fb.c
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
../../../../arch/pmax/dev/fb.c: In function `fbconnect':
../../../../arch/pmax/dev/fb.c:188: warning: unused variable `cn_in_dev'
*** Error code 1

Stop.

SO, I pitched -Werror, and successfully completed the kernel build.
Do let me know if you see any concerns with that warning.
I won't be able to test the kernel until the current in-progress world
build completes, but I'm sure to whinge on-list if there are issues :D

Cheers,
