  What if make gave a 'hint' when run in /usr/pkgsrc.
  
  Something like
  # make
  make called in /usr/pkgsrc/www/zope, did you mean bmake?
  make: no target to make.

I am not a DragonflyBSD hacker, but I think your approach is a little
bit ugly, if I may say so.

It would be neater to have /usr/Makefile identify make and write a
message:

. INIT:
	@if [ `basename $(MAKE)` != bmake ]; then echo "Use bmake stupid"; exit 1;	fi

all:    .INIT
	blah blah

anothertarget:  .INIT
	blah blah


(Not too neat either, but this will at least work even with pkgsrc in a a
non-standard place.)
