Yes, because e.g. category/pkg/Makefile might contain statements
that gmake doesn't understand, causing it to bail out before including
any infrastructure stuff that could potentially do autodetection.

You could put something like the following in ~/.profile to get
similar functionality:

--8<----8<--
make() {
if pwd | grep 'pkgsrc/[^/]*/[^/]*$' > /dev/null
then
/usr/pkg/bin/bmake $@
else
/usr/bin/make $@
fi
}
--8<----8<--

Kind regards,
