I also strongly recommend fink. It's fantastic.
However, if you're getting "command not found" when you type make, it may mean that you haven't installed the OS X Developer Tools. Those normally come on a separate CD and aren't installed by default.
I believe you can also download the Developer Tools from Apple's site if you don't have the CD, but check around to see if you have it first.
If it's a brand-new Mac, the Developer Tools are actually already on the HD, but not installed (at least that was the case with my new G5).
