I'll bet you a double-double and 20 timbits[1] that this is
because of "sudo make", or running sudo at some point when
downloading the source?  Once you do "sudo make clean; sudo make
distclean", all the out/ and out-www/ directories should be gone,
and you shouldn't have this problem any more if you run plain
"make".

[1]  I miss timbits.  :(

Hmm, ok.  Those instructions look fine.  I forgot they were there.
I'm slightly supicious that they might be 10.5-specific, since I
never touched config.make when I had osx 10.4... but then again, I
never tried to build lilypond itself; I only compiled the docs.
