Thanks, some things were fixed, but I'm sure there's something more wrong. 
 I'd like to get nslint installed and then pursue this problem again.  The 
current situation isn't stopping me from doing anything.  It's just 
annoying.

umm, there isn't any nslint file.  There is a Makefile, Makefile.in, 
configure, configure.in, nslint.8, mkdep, intall-sh, nslint.c, etc.  But 
no instructions.  I've tried running a few of the scripts found in the 
directory (e.g. configure), but that seems to configure the Makefile.  
README doesn't contain anything pertaining to making.  INSTALL literally 
contains "(Place Holder)".

I'm lost.

I think so.  From memory, I downloaded from 
ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/nslint-2.0a5.tar.Z.  Then I did a 
gunzip followed by a tar -xvf.
