well, to me it looks like you don't have unrar installed

find it, grab it, install it, use it.

Err, i might be a bit too late, but you can just download it form here
http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=3733

and install with
installpkg unrar-3.4.0-i386-1arf.tgz

instead of downloading the source and compiling. This way you could also add it to pkgtools for later upgrading =]

OMG, I can't believe I forgot about LP.net! About 3 months ago I need to extract a RAR file - I just found an RPM, rpm2tgz then installpkg - cheers for making me feel stupid :D!
