You will have to either

1a) Use a mirror that still carries old packages (see
http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org for a start), and
 
1b) Use the correct filename (it's not called "make")

2) build the port yourself (gmake is quick to compile)

3) Update to 6.1 which will carry packages on all mirrors for quite a
while.
