It is also mentioned in the top Makefile 
/sw/src/xfree86-base-4.2.0-11/xc/Makefile, where the actual command is 
found that produces Makefile.proto:

$(DEPENDSRC)/Makefile.proto: imake.proto
         $(IMAKE_CMD) -s $(DEPENDSRC)/Makefile.proto -f 
$(DEPENDSRC)/Imakefile -D TOPDIR=$(DEPENDTOP) -DCURDIR=$(DEPENDSRC)

This translates to the command that you also quoted in your first error log:

./config/imake/imake -I./config/cf  -s 
./config/makedepend/Makefile.proto -f ./config/makedepend/Imakefile 
-DTOPDIR=../.. -DCURDIR=./config/makedepend

It invokes the just previously compiled command "imake" (see its source 
config/imake/imake.c for an explanation of what it is supposed to do). 
The "-s" flag indicates the ouput file.

You could try to execute this line by hand inside 
/sw/src/xfree86-base-4.2.0-11/xc/ and see what it gives. Maybe replace 
"-s ./config/makedepend/Makefile.proto" by "-s someotherfile" and then 
look if "someotherfile" still contains the same garbage as before.

If it does, one of the files taking part in this conspiration must be 
broken. They are: config/cf/Imake.tmpl, config/makedepend/Imakefile, 
config/imake/imake.c, /usr/bin/cpp, plus several header files and some 
temporary file /tmp/Imakefile.c or something like that.

I have no idea how such a file as you are seeing can be produced. Maybe 
you'll find out.

BTW, you aren't doing this on a UFS partition, do you?
