Are you building a 6.x kernel from a 5.x userspace?  You can work around
it the documented way by using buildworld and the buildkernel, or the easy
way, by forcing NOMAN during the kernel build (or changing NO_MAN in the
aicasm Makefile to NOMAN).  There was discussion of adding compatibility
bits to 5.x so it could build makefiles that use NO_MAN, but I've yet to
see that work.  Of course, my 5.x boxes where I build 6.x kernels aren't
all that up-to-date...
