It was decided long ago that /usr/local *must* ship with the release as 
an empty directory.  We do provide an mtree file for creating the most
common empty directoires in /usr/local.

I suggest your run this:
cd /usr/src
make MAKE_LOCAL=TRUE hierarchy

It will create the empty directories with proper permisions in /usr/local.
