So, you're happy to have vulnerabilities is the base system but not in
your ports?

Older releases generally require special code within the ports tree
and this code is removed once the relevant branch is no longer supported.

Use your favourite source management tool (csup, cvsup, cvs or svn)
to checkout a copy of /usr/src/usr.bin/make (and any other build 
infrastructure it needs) for RELENG_6_4 or later and run "make" in
that directory.  You could even grab the files from the 6.4-RELEASE
src install bundle on an FTP site.
