You don't have make installed.
Code:
[bash-4.2.10] tmp $ ls -lF /usr/bin/*make*
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  232943 May 18  2009 /usr/bin/automake*
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  232943 May 18  2009 /usr/bin/automake-1.10*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  248784 Oct 24  2010 /usr/bin/bsdmake*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  349920 Oct 24  2010 /usr/bin/gnumake*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       7 Oct 31  2009 /usr/bin/make@ -> gnumake
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  499136 May 18  2009 /usr/bin/makeinfo*

Actually, gnumake.

It sounds like xbin is correct, can you post the results of his command?
Code:
ls -lF /usr/bin/*make*

When you installed XCode, did you change any of the default package selections? If you changed them, did you install the UNIX tools (how this is worded depends on the XCode/OSX version)?

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  499136 Jan 26  2010 /usr/bin/makeinfo*


No, I didn't change any of the default options when I installed it.

Your response tells me that you installed CMake from an OSX package, but do not have make or gmake installed. (your gmake link points to /usr/bin/make which does not exist, so neither make or gmake appear to be installed on your system from XCode)

gmake is installed on OSX as a part of the Develper Tools from Apple known as XCode. OSX w/o XCode is rather difficult to get any UNIX based stuff working. XCode used to be included with the OS, but that was many kittens ago. Register as an Apple Developer, Download Xcode and install XCode for your OS version (XCode for Lion is on the App Store).

Once you've installed XCode, you can then start poking under the hood with a project like MacPorts, where can install cmake and other unix utilities you're looking into. (gmake is included in XCode, cmake )

My order of software installs as a UNIX geek are OSX, XCode, patch, then macports. Then I can install OSX things like BBEdit, VMWare, etc.
