A good rule of thumb when 'rolling > your own' is to use gmake when the FreeBSD make pukes. Many of the KDE Makefiles assume you are using GMAKE, since the developers obviously do. But the dependencies are often very easy to replace by POSIX make constructs, and that is what most of the patches in the FreeBSD ports of KDE are about. Only the KPATHSEA sub directory within kdegraphics/kdvi heavily depended on GNU-Make, and this seems to no longer be the case (after visual inspection of the Makefile).
