Sadly not, here an excerpt on how I tried to add an export:

<...> 
DESTDIR="/home/multix/code/opencsw/gnustep-base/trunk/work/install-isa-sparcv8plus"
  && export DESTDIR && gmake install
DESTDIR=/home/multix/code/opencsw/gnustep-base/trunk/work/install-isa-sparcv8plus
LD_OPTIONS=-R/opt/csw/lib/$ISALIST -R/opt/csw/lib -B direct -z ignore
GARPACKAGE=trunk
GAROSREL=5.10
GARCH=sparc
<...>
Making all in Tests ...
If you want to run the gnustep-base testsuite, please type 'make check'
/opt/csw/bin/ginstall: cannot create regular file 
`/opt/csw/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/Additional/base.make': Permission 
denied
Makefile.postamble:46: recipe for target 'before-install' failed
gmake[2]: *** [before-install] Error 1

thus it apparently is wrong or the problem is different.
