Errr. are you sure your sources are updated? I don't see a freebsd_machdep.h in my /usr/src
see http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#BldGetSrc Just su to root, the FAQ doesn't mention using sudo except for config kernels http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#BldKernel notice the #prompt which is root prompt. I wouldn't do make install until make is finished and no errors. This isn't something which can be automated for a beginner. The FAQ doesn't show it that way.
