This breaks my system where I use sendmail from ports in /etc/mailer.conf.
cd mail && exec make distribution
install -c -o root -g wheel -m 644 aliases
/tmp/_etcdir.9nVgeOiVtS/etc/mail/aliases
/usr/sbin/makemap -t aliases -o /tmp/_etcdir.9nVgeOiVtS/etc/mail/aliases.db
/tmp/_etcdir.9nVgeOiVtS/etc/mail/aliases
makemap: error opening type /tmp/_etcdir.9nVgeOiVtS/etc/mail/aliases.db map
/tmp/_etcdir.9nVgeOiVtS/etc/mail/aliases: Unknown database type
*** Error 73 in mail (Makefile:17 'distribution')
*** Error 1 in /usr/src/etc (Makefile:203 'distribution-etc-root-var')
*** Error 1 in /usr/src (Makefile:83 'build')
man -a newaliases says
Notice: do not use makemap to create the aliases data base, because
newaliases puts a special token into the data base that is required by
sendmail.
