The README.customs file that comes with the GNU make source code
explains how to link GNU make with the pmake customs library for
distributed builds.

There's also an integration of PVM with GNU make, which you should be
able to find via Google.  I've expressed interest in getting this more
directly supported in GNU make rather than requiring special patches so
hopefully that will happen.
