If you run FreeBSD, you should expect the BSD version of make as a standard.
GNU make is called gmake and you should find it at /usr/local/bin/gmake.
Here is the result of {,g}make --version on my machine:
bash-2.05b$ make --version
make: illegal option -- -
usage: make [-BPSXeiknqrstv] [-C directory] [-D variable] [-d flags]
[-E variable] [-f makefile] [-I directory] [-j max_jobs]
[-m directory] [-V variable] [variable=value] [target ...]
bash-2.05b$ gmake --version
GNU Make 3.80
