Ok.  I downloaded and installed a bare bones NetBSD 5.1 (i386) system in
virtual box.

I don't have this problem.  create-target.sh succeeds and motif/server
exists.

build-all.sh -b build -C "x86_freebsd NetBSD" -o 2011-10/bin/lisp

starts compiling the world, but then hangs.  That might be an issue with
my network or wifi or nfs since I mounted the sources via nfs to a linux
box.

We should probably make create-target.sh a little smarter and
automatically choose x86_freebsd and NetBSD when running on a NetBSD system.
