I use gnu make all the time, no problems.  I have found that some of the
FreeBSD ports want gmake to compile, which I don't consider to be a big
deal.
As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, I don't think a port has
*ever* failed to compile for me with gmake...(of course the kernel won't
compile under gmake, but I guess that's life)
