amd64 and i386 are NOT interchangeable or compatible: you cannot run
an amd64 binary under the i386 kernel, nor vice versa.

(I'm actually surprised that the packages installed.  Did you copy the
binaries over instead of installing the packages?  Or did you override
pkg_add's warnings and use the -A or -Farch options?)

That depends on whether the app's makefiles were written to require
GNU make or not.  Since you didn't say what app this is, we can't
answer the question.

Of course, if this app has been added to the ports tree then building
it from there would be the simplest way forward.
