Perhaps just re-wording the actual link using words that aren't valid 
whilst in /usr/src would be sufficient?

ie, give a list of references instead:

Before compiling FreeBSD-CURRENT, read the Makefile in /usr/src 
carefully.  Other references are the Handbook [with a link], the 
FreeBSD-CURRENT mailing list [with a link], and /usr/src/UPDATING.

Yes, I'd be willing to submit a patch for this.  :-)  (Although it would 
be my first one.)
