The best reference I've found for advanced make
usage is the FreeBSD source tree.  Here's an
excerpt from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile:

#
# If there is a machine dependent makefile, use it:
#
.if exists(${.CURDIR}/${MACHINE_ARCH}/Makefile.inc)
.include "${.CURDIR}/${MACHINE_ARCH}/Makefile.inc"
.endif
