Not only do you need make, but also gcc and other utilities. I would 
consider /usr wiped, even if you still have "su". You might find relief 
in /rescue or /stand/sysinstall.

You won't reinstall the whole system creating slices and labes and all 
that, but you will most likely need to reinstall a lot though.

Cheers, Erik
