Did you try using the FreeBSD package?
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.0-release/benchmarks/netperf-2.4.5.tbz

If you need to build from source, you should build the port.
It already includes patches to fix this compilation issue.
Eg:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/benchmarks/netperf/files/patch-src-net_uuid.c?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain

If you don't want to use packages or ports, then apply that
patch by hand.
