It looks like you did:
cp /usr/src/etc/rc.d/* /etc/rc.d/
This copied some extra files into your /etc/rc.d/ directory that are
not needed. Just remove /etc/rc.d/Makefile, and that should fix the
Syntax error. Then run mergemaster. When mergemaster gets to
checking the files in the /etc/rc.d/ directory, it may show that
somefiles in that directory are not needed. Either let mergemaster
delete all of these unneeded files, or make a note of them and
manually remove the ones you don't need.
NOTE: if you have custom scripts in /etc/rc.d, you may want to manully
remove the unneeded files.
