and edit the Makefile.
Comment out the following 3 lines:
.if ${OSVERSION} >= 400000
FORBIDDEN= already is in the base system
.endif
Save the Makefile, and type: make && make install && make clean
Terminfo (including the db's) should now install fine...

In normal situation accessing to a FreeBSD 4.x machine from cygwin is not
very pleasant: editing files is quite a pain, there are many terminal
"glitches" like the cursor in the wrong position and garbage text.
A trick to resolve this issue is to copy the binary cygwin terminfo file in
/usr/share/misc/terminfo/c/
Since FreeBSD 4.0 ncurses libs are included in the base system, but terminfo
db (and utils) are not installed (while the port for freebsd < 4 installed
them).
I read that FreeBSD uses termcap rather than terminfo, but either the
included cygwin entry or the terminfo-generated one don't work correctly. So
the binary terminfo seems to be the only solution (and termcap seems to be
not so powerful).
My question is: should terminfo database be installed (manually or by
make/installworld) or is there a better fix?
