AFAIK, both NetBSD and FreeBSD just inherited PMake from 4.4BSD.  I
don't believe any major changes have been made to FreeBSD's make.
Some of NetBSD's enhancements to pmake have been imported into FreeBSD
but there's never been a wholesale import of make.

Note that trying to write non-trivial code that is portable between
GNU make and BSD make is virtually impossible because they have
different conditional and include language.
