  % ls /usr/bin/*make
  -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  119092 Mar 20 16:41 /usr/bin/bsdmake
  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  184648 Mar 20 16:41 /usr/bin/gnumake
  lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       7 Apr 22 10:28 /usr/bin/make -> gnumake

So the devtools suite offers both GNU and BSD versions, though the one you
get when issuing a simple 'make' command is GNUmake. (A lot of users are
having problems from another copy of BSDmake in /usr/local/bin, and now
that I realize that you already have BSDmake in /usr/bin, I can't figure
out why there needs to be a second copy of it elsewhere. Weird.)

In any case, if you have a listing similar to the one above, and you don't
have anything for /usr/local/bin/*make, then you're fine for this matter.
