SG3d is part of the GRASS GIS 'system'.  It cannot be used by itself.
It works with GRASS maps.  So you need at least a minimal GRASS system
to support it.  (e.g. creating and managing the files).  I would 
recommend building GRASS first, and then trying to compile SG3d.

If you don't want all of GRASS, you can go edit the file src/CMD/lists/GRASS
and delete those programs that you know you don't want (refer to the manual
to see what you don't want I guess)  But you will need to compile the 
libraries at least.

As for your Gmakefile problem, All GRASS programs are compiled with a
program called gmake which reads Gmakefiles and creates a makefile based
on how you set up the system when you install it.  All of this stuff
is in the src/CMD directory.  I would also recommend that you read the
installation instructions.
