I realise you are going to attempt to build for FreeBSD :)

NetBSD have packages, which I was unaware of.

It has been around 5 years since I ran FreeBSD myself, so this may be wrong.

There used to be a curses interface called sysinstall, which was in
/stand. This allowed you to pick packages from a list. I used to get
annoyed with how long it took to build the list :p

You should be able to find gmake in there, along with subversion
(which you might want).

Hope that is correct.
