Many of the KDE Makefiles assume you are using GMAKE,
since the developers obviously do. But the dependencies
are often very easy to replace by POSIX make constructs,
and that is what most of the patches in the FreeBSD ports
of KDE are about.

Only the KPATHSEA sub directory within kdegraphics/kdvi
heavily depended on GNU-Make, and this seems to no longer
be the case (after visual inspection of the Makefile).
