I don't think it will work--because the fink build process is geared to
build a binary file for later installation, the 'make install' puts the files
in a temporary build directory.

If your BSD make is in /usr/local/bin, and that directory is ahead of
/usr/bin in your PATH, you could temporarily rename  /usr/local/bin/make
to something else, and then fink would have access to gnumake (symlinked as
/usr/bin/make).  If your BSD make is a symlink in /usr/bin, then you'd
want to have /usr/bin/make be a symlink to /usr/bin/gnumake (at least
temporarily).

Many packages in the fink distribution are incompatible with BSD make in
any case, so you can pretty much assume that any given package won't work
right using it.
