In the Makefile it says
# UPDATE will avoid a `make cleandir' at the start of `make build',

So I guess exporting or setenving UPDATE=1 should do it.

I always put stuff in /usr/src - Not sure if there is a recommended place
but whenever I've been on a netbsd box, source code for NetBSD has always
been in there.
