Hello rusty

One thing that you should be aware is that you would need a drm(or ported)
kernel module as nouveau does provide KMS only

Secondly, take into account that I'm not a BSD person

By doing so you are installing everything to /usr/local

'drmModePageFlip' is defined in xf86drmMode.h
Which in your case cannot be found due to being provided by libdrm
(located in /usr/local)
Or
The build system may be using outdated xf86drm* headers

 From what I can see you have two options
* Install libdrm to /usr
...; ./configure --enable-nouveau-experimental-api --prefix=/usr/; ...

or
* Consult with OpenBSD/automake guys how to educate automake that the
headers are located in /us/local

Cheers,
Emil
