As you can see from the manual "man make", both are currently
supported. I know that := (assign with expansion; variable
assignment modifier) has been there for many years, and the
current make manual lists ::= (assign after substitution;
variable modifier) as available, too.

You can find the manual online:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?make(1)

Just search for := and ::= to check.
