I expect that you will find AFS more usable if you set kern.smp.disabled=1 
in /boot/loader.conf, which will make your machine effectively 
single-processor.

opt_global.h should be coming from your kernel's build tree ...

I compiled recently with head at commit af6b80f257

I would change the makefile to have the do-patch: target actually do 
something, i.e.:
--------------
do-patch:
 	cd ${WRKDIR} && git checkout af6b80f257
--------------
Note that that must be a tab character, as per all Makefiles.

I don't think any of the changes between af6b80f and the current master 
could cause your build failure, though.
