The correct way is to add
USE_GMAKE=yes
to the port's Makefile.
The various variables of interest are documented at the top of
/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk.

Since you didn't know about USE_GMAKE, I have to assume that you are
using a wrong technique to determine which ports need gmake.
Admittedly, this is post-2.2.6, but:
flarn:~/FreeBSD/ports$ grep USE_GMAKE */*/Makefile | wc -l
156
156 is considerably larger than 1. :-)
I do not know enough about PGP's build process to say offhand whether
the BUILD_DEPENDS is an error. Note that USE_GMAKE is an automatic
dependency on gmake, just like USE_PERL5 requires, well, Perl 5.
