I have a jail without sources under 6.3-STABLE. I copied all the content of the /usr/src/usr.src/make/ directory from another machine with 8.3-RELEASE, in that directory gave `make` command, then copied the "make" executable to /usr/bin/ . I use current port tree and succesfully update openssl, stunnel, pcre, exim.
