The CVS entries should be removed from the latest patches and a patch for  
RELENG_7_0 has been added.
You can get the new patches from http://home.no.net/andenore/patches/

Maybe you tried to compile from a different directory than  
/usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install ?
Makefile.inc will try to `.include "../Makefile.inc"' to get BINDIR, so if  
you comment this out and specify your own BINDIR variable `BINDIR?=  
/usr/sbin' it should be ok.
