Have you had a look in the ports tree to see if you can find Hobbit there?
Otherwise, gmake is available from ports/devel/gmake, just do cd
ports/devel/gmake and make install clean and then you've got it.
Then you do MAKE=gmake ./configure-server or whatever in the source
catalog for hobbit.
The thing that might be weird is that FreeBSD installs ports in
/usr/local/[bin,sbin] by default, you'll proably end up with hobbit in
/usr/[bin,sbin] if you don't install it from ports. See if you can
find a configure parameter to set the install directory to where you
want to install hobbit.
