No, because I'm not aware of any way to do the type of generic rules we use that would be portable to BSD make. Having to add contents to the makefile for every new source file is unacceptable redundancy (and part of the reason hideous things like automake were invented). If there is a way to do the equivalent in BSD make, I'm not opposed to trying to support both; it might be something reasonable to work on at the same time as other build system goals like support for out-of-tree build.
