No, I don't know of a GNU-compatible distributed make.

No, rather a semi-expert in (g)make and portability who had to deal with
various idiosyncrasies in make implementations of all shapes and sizes.
Distributed make however has until now not been something we needed in
our project. We rather follow the "keep it simple" principle if we can.
