Yes. These two programs serve a similar purpose and you may carefully
write Makefiles that use a very minimal feature set of both that happen
to work on any of the two, but they are a lot different too.

The information in the GNU make manual applies to GNU make. You can
install GNU make using the ports though:
% pkg_info | grep gmake
gmake-3.80_2 GNU version of 'make' utility
% which gmake
/usr/local/bin/gmake
% gmake --version
GNU Make 3.80
