I just tried, with a fresh ports tree, to build gmake after having pkg_deleted it, and it failed because it couldn't find its own binary. I "fixed" this by editing work/*/Makefile to say "make=make" instead of "make=gmake," then doing (from the port top) "make", then in work/* renaming make (the generated binary) to gmake and doing cp -p gmake /usr/local/bin, and finally going to the port top again and doing "make install clean."
