Not sure if we have ever said that GNU tools are required for
"maintainer-makefile", besides GNU Make which is obviously required.
However, I only run it on my personal machine, e.g., not cfarm ones or
virtual machines used for testing. So I certainly wouldn't notice or
mind if they didn't work on Solaris. Perhaps others have a similar
opinion.

That file has:
# These variables ought to be defined through the configure.ac section
# of the module description. But some packages import this file directly,
# ignoring the module description.
AWK ?= awk
GREP ?= grep
SED ?= sed
Perhaps you can use $(SED), so that BSD people can run:
$ gmake SED=gsed
if they would like. I notice a few places where plain 'grep' is used.
They are simple expressions, but I will probably change them anyways.
