I removed pmpd from externals/build/src when I converted pmpd to use  
the Makefile/libdir template, which Pd-extended also uses.  This  
template is not tied to Pd-extended at all, and is standalone.  If you  
want to build pmpd, just:

cd externals/pmpd
make

That seems like a much better option than the old system IMHO.   
Ideally, all libraries would use this template, it makes building and  
packaging much easier on all platforms.
