Well, that's what it printed.  Whether it did so because it's
incorrectly suggesting I do something that won't work or because the
way I ran build.sh means that it _is_ the right thing to do in this
case, I can't tell.  (The source tree I built from differed from the
one which produced the installed system were installed only in the
addition of some comments, in this particular case; more generally,
when I do a build-and-install this way, the resulting binaries are
supposed to be, and generally are, backward-compatible enough that it
doesn't matter whether something like postinstall uses the host tools
or the newly-built tools.)

Based on this, I tried a slight tweak.  The command build.sh suggests I
run to fix things is

    /usr/src/usr.sbin/postinstall/postinstall -s '/usr/src' -d // fix rc

and instead I ran

env MKX11=yes sh /usr/src/usr.sbin/postinstall/postinstall -s '/usr/src' -d // 
fix rc

This installed xdm and xfs in rc.d very nicely.  (Not that I'll be
turning either one on in rc.conf.  It just seems wrong for build.sh it
to suggest a fix that doesn't work.)

install/45611.

Well, MKX11=yes in the environment worked....
