But I got those, sorry I should have been more clear, the ones I want to see
documentation on are the ones less commonly used like:
buildenv
check-old
checkdpadd
distribute
distributeworld
distrib-dirs
distribution
hierarchy
regress
release
rerelease
At lease 'release' is described in release(9). The others appear to be less
documented. build(9) would be a good place to put them, however.

for instance "make distribution" is used in setting up jails (per the jail
man page), but no where can I find a description of what it actually does, I
tried following it through the make file chain but wasn't able to quickly
determine what exactly it does. In must be something exclusive of "make
world", because it follows that command in the jail setup instructions.
By the I have tried google, handbook, mailing list, and faq for these but the
most I have been able to find are rote use of these in howto's, like the
"make distribution" example above, but no descriptions of what they do.
Thanks

Can someone point to documentation for all the make targets in used in the
/usr/src/Makefile. I am not looking for full documentation of each
target, once I narrow down what targets I want I can get what need by
walking the make files, but what I am looking for is a document that has a
brief (short paragraph) of for each make target, describing its general
purpose/function.
You could start with "head -18 /usr/src/Makefile"...
