Move your /etc/mk.conf out of the way temporarily.  I suspect you
might be running into some obscure corner cases of objdir handling.
See (emphasis mine):

  nbmake[1]: stopped in /local/netbsd-src/OBJ/.../compile/GENERIC/lib/kern

while

  nbmake[1]: cannot open ../../../../../../lib/libkern/Makefile.

seems to indicate it assumes you are running inside the src tree (not
in an objdir).
