Can someone contact a member of the freeBSD > core team? Some members of the core team read this list :) While I can't speak authoratitively for the entire core team, I'm 99% certain that they would not like using gmake for the u-sparc port. While doing so for initial porting isn't objectionable, bringing the code tree back to the FreeBSD project with all the bmake files as gmake files would present ... problems :) So My P.O.V. (Point Of View) is that if you just use gmake for bootstrapping, then fine, but expect to convert that all to bmake for `production'. Also don't expect the bootstrapping code to go into the main CVS tree. I think the development should be done through some other means and then imported onto freefall when ready for a wider audience (like the alpha stuff).
