This is the second time I've done the build and I already thought that maybe I
had some previous junk lying around. So, I removed archives, log, packages, and
proto in my build area and then kicked the nightly off again.

Here I believe is the key. My source tree still has usr/src/cmd/pfexec and I
looked at the install target which has the following:
for s in $(BINSHELLS) ; do \
$(RM) $(ROOTBIN)/pf$$s; \
$(LN) $(ROOTBIN)/pfexec $(ROOTBIN)/pf$$s; \
done
So, the error is not that pfksh is old junk in my tree, but that I somehow
still have usr/src/cmd/pfexec in my tree which has been moved to the closed
binary package. Do you concur?
