That's 'cos you're using GNU make instead of FreeBSD's make. You didn't
install GNU-make using the ports system, and now there's confusion between
the two. If you install using the ports, it puts it in as "gmake".

    1:jonc-/tmp,8:48am> make
    "Makefile", line 1: Need an operator
    make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
    1:jonc-/tmp,8:48am> gmake
    Makefile:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Take it out, and put it in `correctly' with the ports system. Alternatively,
you could try specifying "/usr/bin/make depend".
