For src/sys/arch/i386/stand/genprom, here's the contents of Makefile:
HOSTPROG= genprom
NOMAN=  # defined
.include <bsd.hostprog.mk>

That's all. Even more amusing is src/games/phantasia's Makefile - which
has uses ${_MKTARGET_LINK} and ${HOST_LINK.c} - but relies on the implicit
rules for .lo set up... somewhere.
