But the Porters handbook says:

Likewise, the distinction between ECHO_MSG and ECHO_CMD should be kept in mind.
The former is for printing informational text to the screen, while the latter
is for command pipelining.

A good example for both can be found in shells/bash2/Makefile:
update-etc-shells:
	@${ECHO_MSG} "updating /etc/shells"
	@${CP} /etc/shells /etc/shells.bak
	@( ${GREP} -v ${PREFIX}/bin/bash /etc/shells.bak; \
		${ECHO_CMD} ${PREFIX}/bin/bash) >/etc/shells
	@${RM} /etc/shells.bak
