Replying to afb@…:
The handling of "bsdmake" seems strange, since the code uses "make" on FreeBSD and "pmake" on Linux.
I think the default Make on FreeBSD is BSD Make, while on Linux it’s installed as “pmake”.
Anyway, the path to the various makes are set when doing the ./configure so doing it in build is a tad late.
The code in portbuild is evaluated before any phases are performed. The build.cmd option just determines the command that is run as part of the build phase.

I daresay most platforms have GNU Make by default.

Forgot that the code isn't for other platforms, it's for installing bsdmake on Mac OS X when it is missing... (#33355)
We could add a similar block for FreeBSD where gmake is "supposed" to be installed, but then removed or something.

Neither gmake nor bsdmake should need an explicit depends_skip_archcheck, since they both set installs_libs no.
