As an aside, have you looked at the tutorial at
Admittedly, it won't have solved this particular problem. . .

A new group was added to the group file, and then used as part of the
installation. Of course, 'make world' will not install the new group file
for you.
Run 'diff' on /etc/group and /usr/src/etc/group to see what the differences
are. As I recall, you need to add a 'network' group to /etc/group.
You can restart the 'make world' with
# cd /usr/src; make -DNOCLEAN world
which will not wipe out the results of the previous build, or
# cd /usr/src; make world
if you want to start from the beginning.

And I'd have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those pesky kids.
