For -current, something like:
	./build.sh -U tools
(-U isn't strictly necessary, but it does allow building and
installing as a non-root user :)

Remember the path to "makewrapper" that build.sh outputs in the summary.

Build the docs:
	cd distrib/notes/macppc
	/path/to/makewrapper INSTALL.html

That should work.
