Yes; it is done automatically by the "make makefiles" step when you first 
run make with the alternate build system. But you should be able to run it 
yourself as (from alternate build directory):

make ~/src/grass-5.4.1/src.contrib/AverageTables/makefile

(Note the lower case m in makefile) and that should automatically convert 
Gmakefile to makefile and the gmake54 script should then work.
