No, the bootstrapping package named "openpkg" never included GNU make --
not in 1.0 nor in any -CURRENT version.

Sure, as long as we have a machine available for porting. Unfortunately,
currently we have no PowerPC box available where we can setup MacOS X /
Darwin, hence we cannot do anything ourself here.

With 1.1.0 the bootstrap package's vendor parts use a common
config.guess/config.sub script. It is part of the package. All you have
to do is to fix your platform support there and this way all parts of
the bootstrap packaging should identify your platform correctly. But
make sure that you also forward your changes to the GNU people to make
sure your changes are not lost.
If you show me the output of
$ uname -a
$ uname -m
$ uname -s
$ uname -r
I can look for you into config.guess and try to help you...
