OK, 2 more idea.
1) try to ktrace the failing command, to try to see which file is corrupt.
 ktrace -i make install 
 This will generate a large trace file, though, including the infos for
 make and all its childrens.
2) maybe it's just /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.byfile.db which is corrupt. Remove
 it and rebuild: pkg_admin rebuild
