This sounds as if you are missing the Makefile.  Do you have a
Makefile in /usr/src?  If not, this is your problem.

The Makefile should be installed by the "base" package within the
"src" distribution.  To install this, you need to be root, then:

/stand/sysinstall

Go to Configure->Distributions->src

Make sure to install the "base" package.  When doing anything with
sources you will need this, as well as the distribution that contains
the appropriate sources.
