It means what it says :)  - your "make world" didn't update /usr/share/mk
so parts of your system is to old.  You'll have to

  "cd /usr/src/share/mk && make install"

to update the make "include" files.  It might be a good idea to bring the
rest of the system up to date by use of

  http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html

I don't know if "make world" _should_ update /usr/share/mk, but
apparantly it doesn't for the time beeing...
