Or, if you cannot upgrade the system right now, install bmake (the make
program used in supported releases) in addition to fmake (the "old" make
used in no longer supported FreeBSD versions). You'll find bmake as a
package or you might still be able to build the devel/bmake port.

You should keep the old make program around as "fmake" and can install
the new one as "make" for the ports system.

This does not make your system supported, if it wasn't before, but you
could gain some time to prepare the upgrade to a supported system ...
