I'm looking this one over and thinking about it.  Right now, weighing  
the benefits (fixing 1, maybe 2 ports) against the obvious  
infrastructure issues that having two gmake ports in the tree, I'm  
currently of the opinion that it's not really a good solution.

A considerably more preferable approach would be to put pressure on  
the gmake folks to get a new release pushed out, with these and other  
fixes, which can then be set up for an -exp run, and if successful,  
devel/gmake simply gets punted to a new version where everyone is happy.
