AFAIK gdal doesn't depend on latex, this looks strange, anyhow...

the gdal build system depends on the GNU flavor of 'make', if you are lucky 
FreeBSD packages GNU make as well as their standard make. look for something 
like 'gmake'.

then you may try to build gdal with:
$ .configure 
$ gmake

i'm not sure if gdal 1.1.9 actually builds on FreeBSD.
however if you it doesn't and you still have energy :) you might have better 
luck with the current cvs (grab a nighty snapshot) which uses libtool (and 
still depends on GNU make).

hope this helps,
