Try installing the gmake package. I've been seeing this error too, and it 
appears to be something broken in dependency handling.

Could you please post the contents of /etc/mk.conf, in particular whether 
you have set USE_PKGSRC_GCC, GCC_REQD, or anything else that could 
affect the choice of compiler in use.

Please also let us know if installing gmake worked around the problem.
