FreeBSD's make isn't bmake. It is important to remember that this

Right it is actually NetBSD make, are there very important differences?
AFAIK, both NetBSD and FreeBSD just inherited PMake from 4.4BSD. I
don't believe any major changes have been made to FreeBSD's make.
Some of NetBSD's enhancements to pmake have been imported into FreeBSD
but there's never been a wholesale import of make.
Note that trying to write non-trivial code that is portable between
GNU make and BSD make is virtually impossible because they have
different conditional and include language.

Of course I could actually get an actual freebsd machine - joy.
What is stopping you? Feel free to contact me off-list if you'd like
assistance.
I could be tempted to do this in VirtualBox. But looking at the virtualbox page
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes
FreeBSD Works partially FreeBSD 6.2 is known to cause problems.
Since I know you are doing a FreeBSD port, I'm keen to not do anything to hamper
your efforts! I hope you don't just get it working, then someone come along and
break it, like happened in Sage 4.3.1 on Solaris. </gripe>
