For FreeBSD, technically yes, it is correct; however, in GNU/Linux distros
GNU make is installed just as "make" (no `g' prefix). That said, if you
want to be even more accurate, you could say:
Quite often, a specific implementation is required, like GNU make
(known in &os; as <command>gmake</command>), or legacy &os; make
(<command>fmake</command>).
