After thinking about this and playing a game that leads to the position I think I've found a simple answer. Black's last move was KxNd8.
Explanation:
Neither player can win this game, because it's impossible to bring a pawn to the last rank and it's also impossible to checkmate the king with the pieces currently on the board.
Only Pa4 and Kd8 could ha 54. h8=N Rf1 55. e4 Rf2 56. e5 Kd8 57. e6 Rf7 58. Nxf7+ Ke8 59. Nd8 Kxd8

Nice game construction, though.
edit. Oops, I didn't see that you already came to that conclusion, just looked at the game. Sorry for that.
