The problem was because the bsd.kmod.mk stuff in 4.0 didn't have
enough support for building *_if.h files. There's a second problem
that you'll hit which is binutils being otu of date. The UPDATING
file is known to work. Other kludges to kinda sorta work around the
problem arn't, change too much and generally are a big pita to keep up
to date in UPDATING.
Searching the archives for -stable will show a posting where I went
through this in some detail. That should be enough to know how to
kludge around it. It really is *MUCH* easier to use
{build,install}kernel.
Finally, the kernel specific .mk files have already moved to
/usr/src/sys/conf, where they belong. That's why things broke,
actually, the functionality moved to the conf directory. The versions
that are in /usr/share/mk are just place holders. They find the
kernel sources and include the right $(SYSDIR)/conf/kmod.mk.
BTW, I couldn't find the phrase 'use the magic kernel building
mechanism and it ought to work' in my UPDATING file. Such a phrase is
patronizing and in appropriate for UDPATING. Can you tell me which
version you found it in?
