You have to had it in target/x86/grub/grub.mk
That mean having something like that :

[...]

grub-target_binary: $(GRUB_DIR)/$(GRUB_BINARY)
        $(MAKE) DESTDIR=$(TARGET_DIR) CC=$(TARGET_CC) -C $(GRUB_DIR) install

grub-target_files:
        # Copy the necessary file in /boot/grub
        mkdir -p $(TARGET_DIR)/boot/grub
        cp -f $(GRUB_DIR)/stage1/stage1 $(TARGET_DIR)/boot/grub
        cp -f $(GRUB_DIR)/stage2/stage2 $(TARGET_DIR)/boot/grub
        cp -f $(GRUB_DIR)/stage2/e2fs_stage1_5 $(TARGET_DIR)/boot/grub
        cp -f target/x86/grub/menu.lst $(TARGET_DIR)/boot/grub
        (cd $(TARGET_DIR)/boot/grub; ln -sf menu.lst grub.conf;)

grub: grub-target_binary grub-target_files
