make is actually a symlink to gmake, AKA GNU make (there's another make 
implementation, called bsdmake, which is very different). Try man gmake 
instead.

That's because configure is actually a shell script, and not a built-in 
tool in the operating system. It's actually generated by autoconf, and 
if you have autoconf installed then you can get the man page for it as 
normal. ./configure --help will give you what you're interested in, 
though,m probably :-)
