Your shell syntax is wrong

If you run

setenv D /usr/home/nah/jail

in a /bin/sh shell on it's own you get

# setenv D /usr/home/nah/jail
setenv: not found
# 


The correct syntax would be something like

D=/usr/home/nah/jail

e.g.

# D=/usr/home/nah/jail
# echo $D
/usr/home/nah/jail
# 

What you did was you didn't have a value for D so you overwrote your existing
installation with your make buildworld/installworld/distribution
