bsd.own.mk sets the following variables, if they are not already defined (defaults are in brackets):

BSDSRCDIR       The real path to the system sources, so that 'make obj'
                will work correctly. [/usr/src]

BSDOBJDIR       The real path to the system 'obj' tree, so that 'make obj'
                will work correctly. [/usr/obj]

Once you figure these out don't forget to make obj before trying to build.
