If you have the "doc" package set installed, look in:

	/usr/share/doc/psd/12.make

If not, the same documents are available as part of the online FreeBSD
documentation set:

This is not a comparison of GNU make and BSD make.  It's just a guide
for BSD make.  I believe it's a guide that is better than trying to
decipher the makefiles of the src/ tree.  AFAIK, the latter tend to
depend on a lot of features of the src/share/mk/* stuff, which are not
necessarily available and do not work exactly the same with all versions
of BSD make out there.
