When building the Qt port, qmake is used to generate Makefiles. These files use GNU syntax and must be consumed by GNU make. Under FreeBSD, this requires calling "gmake" instead of "make". The following trivial patch fixes the build under FreeBSD. Since it breaks the build on other platforms without a "gmake" command, the change should be wrapped into a conditional so that it is applied under FreeBSD only:
