The problem is caused by the redundant semicolon separating the 's'
commands in the sed command string -- only one semicolon is necessary,
and versions of FreeBSD before 4.7 didn't accept any more than one.
Try updating src/usr.bin/sed to RELENG_4_7, RELENG_4_8 or RELENG_4
(depending on how much risk you're willing to take), or modify the
mkinstalldirs script to avoid generating redundant semicolons.

Otherwise, you could apply this patch to src/usr.bin/sed/compile.c by hand:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/sed/compile.c.diff?r1=1.21&r2=1.22

You shouldn't have to do any of these things, though. I think the ethereal
port or one of the GNU auto* tools is at fault here.
