You don't need to GCC from ports in order to compile C/C++ programs, the version of GCC distributed with FreeBSD is fine.

Also note there are multiple flavors of make, which are not always compatible. Probably the most popular version is GNU Make (devel/gmake) which is not the same as the make flavor that ships with FreeBSD.
