Scot,

  The problem was not getting the VFS modules compiled, but rather  
getting them installed.

I found a brute force workaround was to manually add 'lib/samba/vfs/ 
recycle.so' to the '/net/samba3/pkg-plist' file.
I know this is not the proper thing to do, but it works for getting a  
package built.  I would have preferred a tweak to the Makefile that  
would work for everyone, but I'm afraid my Makefile reading skills are  
not up to snuff.

Thanks,
Erik
