I take it back this fails for qt4-rcc which fails to detect endian
and other issues :(
So far Lena's suggestion of an 8.4 make is working :)

For the record bmake doesn't work is fails to build qmake4 without even
giving an error :(
Where as copying make from 10 to the 8.3 box worked fine.

Yes this should work. Install devel/bmake, then use 'bmake' instead of
'make' when interacting with the ports tree. Or install devel/fmake and
use 'fmake'. Either works.
Or download 8.4 sources:
rm -rf /usr/src
svn export svn://svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org/base/releng/8.4 /usr/src
and upgrade the `make` binary only:
cd /usr/src/usr.bin/make
make
make install
Or (untested) copy the file /usr/bin/make from 8.4 CD or its image,
an example for i386:
fetch
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/8.4/FreeBSD-8.4-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso
mdconfig -f FreeBSD-8.4-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso
mount_cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt
cp -p /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/make.bak
cp /mnt/usr/bin/make /usr/bin/make
umount /mnt
mdconfig -d -u 0
Or if i386 then you can use the binary from my 8.4:
fetch http://lena.kiev.ua/make84.bin
cp -p /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/make.bak
cp make84.bin /usr/bin/make
