Yea, it's an issue. I know there is a workaround, but I forgot it at the 
moment. The real solution would be to provide packages that work for 2.6.3.

Yes, /usr/Makefile was changed, and it was MFC'd to the 2.6 branch but 
the ISO is older and we have no ISO reflecting the latest on the 2.6 
branch. You can take the /usr/Makefile from here:

http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/etc/Makefile.usr

which should work.

The problem here is that you are using make instead of bmake (which 
needs to be used for pkgsrc things).
