In fact, Simon and Garrett recently ported NetBSD's mechanism.  It's
called bsd.progs.mk and it's in FreeBSD/head and stable/10.  It works
much like bsd.prog.mk.  Basic usage is like this:

PROGS= foo bar baz
SRCS.foo= foo.c common.c
SRCS.bar= bar.c common.c
SRCS.baz= baz.c common.c

It's still something of a work in progress.  The exact usage is likely
to change for awhile.
