As Souji says, this is not easy in general.  Resorting to galling gmake from make wouldn't be pretty, but might be necessary.

The core of GNU Make and pmake/bmake (ie, the FreeBSD version) are the same, and it's not too hard to write a basic Makefile which will work with both implementations.  But as soon as you step beyond that core -- ie, as soon as you need a non-basic Makefile -- the two go in different directions, and are almost immediately thoroughly incompatible with each other.

Best wishes,

Norman
