C GNU coreutils

If I install the GNU Coreutils as a pkg, and I run a Makefile how do I specify using a GNU version of cp (for example) rather than using the BSD version?
Could I possibly create a BSDmakefile and change the search path for executables?
 
How about env PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH gmake ..., for csh(1), or PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH gmake ... for bash?

I'll bear that in mind, however the coreutils get installed, prefixed with 'g', ie GNU cp gets renamed as gcp. Surprisingly a script that I ran picked up the 'g' versions without me needing to change anything.
