Google 'pmake' you will get info from line1.
Use pmake when the Makefile is written for pmake.

Since PMake claims to be a complete "make" replacement, I'd say just try it and see if it works. They don't specify (at least not on the CPAN page) what version or flavor of make they're replacing, so it's probably GNU Make. Of course, there are other types, for example BSD Make, which when you get into the more complex features is incompatible with GNU Make.
