NetBSD thor 1.5.3 NetBSD 1.5.3 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Aug 27 17:42:36 EST 2002     awhite@thor:/usr/src/sys/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
>Description:
On PC/Mac platforms, C++ files tend to use the .cpp file suffix.  This suffix is not supported by the BSD makefiles, which makes porting painful.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile any file using a .cpp suffix using the standard Makefile toolchain.  Note that system rules work, but the special toolchain rules don't.
>Fix:
Change the following files in /usr/share/mk: bsd.dep.mk, bsd.hostprog.mk, bsd.lib.mk, bsd.prog.mk, bsd.sys.mk to add .cpp suffix (and perhaps .cxx) wherever .cc appears.

I note bsd.sys.mk already includes .cpp and .cxx support.
