Have a look at Makefile.inc. Here you find that you need to include the path /usr/src/contrib/blacklist/include.

I believe that you will need to resolve some more issues with compiling blacklistd stand alone. I have never tried something similar.

Because I am following STABLE, and by that you have to compile ...

… world and kernel from scratch. (Same stands true for following HEAD.) The very first time it will take some time. But after that a small modification of let's say blacklistd.c will result in very short compilation times.

If you do not have a git repository and never had a 'make world' and 'make kernel' running, it will be hard to develop code.

BUT, I have mentioned perviously, that I am not an expert either, someone my point to a simple method in just compiling the blacklist contribution.
