xnu comes with the 2 files (*.defs) you need in /usr/include/device.  
So make sure you load xnu and the files are there:

$ darwinbuild -load xnu
$ ls -1 BuildRoot/usr/include/device/
device.defs
device_port.h
device_types.defs
device_types.h

The source files get generated during the DeviceMIG target of  
IOKitUser.  If you are building with -nochroot, you need to copy  
the .defs files from BuildRoot to /usr/include/device/.
