Probably not worth it.
If upstream intended to provide a portable Makefile but inadvertently
included gmake-isms, you can create a patch to fix this and submit
it back upstream.

Potential candidates are ports that come with Makefile* in their
files/ directory.

Do you intend to override CFLAGS again from the ports Makefile?

A port should respect the system CFLAGS that are passed in.  It
obviously can add -DBLA, but it must not clobber optimization setting
with its own -Ox.  Similarly, it shouldn't hardcode /usr/local but
use ${LOCALBASE}.
