Say on FreeBSD an application needs to be compiled with GNU make (gmake), not the standard system make. Is there any directive I could put to the Makefile to stop executing it and print an error if the Makefile is not compiled with gmake?

Call your makefile
GNUmakefile. GNU Make will find it, but not other makes.
