Ah-ha! the paths seem to have changed somewhere down the line:

/usr/src/games/fortune{104}# make install
===> fortune (install)
install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555   fortune /usr/games
install: /usr/games/fortune: Inappropriate file type or format

On my system, /usr/games/fortune is a directory containing the dat files.

rm -r'd /usr/games/fortune and it installed properly and now works :-)

Thanks for the help.
