BSD make and GNU make are very different animals, as you've found out.
The whole FreeBSD buildworld system depends intimately on BSD make.
Accept no substitutes.
If you can't avoid having gnu make installed as /usr/local/bin/make,
try the following:
env PATH=/usr/bin:${PATH} make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

Quite so. That's why when you install Gnu make from ports, it gets
installed as /usr/local/bin/gmake Which is really much the best
solution to your problem that I can see.
Cheers,
Matthew
