i think, that TeX Live 2009 distribution has been released, and source
code tarballs are not refreshed, unlike the TeX package updates iva
tlnet. I don't know if it is planned to provide the updated source tarball.

two files in question are available here:
http://www.tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Build/source/utils/xindy/make-rules/alphabets/Makefile.in
http://www.tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Build/source/utils/xindy/make-rules/alphabets/Makefile.am
and you can get the full source code from the repository as explained in
http://www.tug.org/texlive/svn/

it is not necessary to build the xindy-make-rules package as part of TeX
Live build, because the files it generates are included in the TeX
Live's texmf tree, and they are platform-independent.
