FreeBSD's make is BSD make. If you need GNU make you will have to 
install the devel/gmake port and use the gmake executable.

I think that the easiest might be to create own local FreeBSD Ports 
port. When you have a working port it is just a matter of saying make 
package. See man ports and Porter's Handbook 
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/>.
