We can use Makefiles in OS X Server? The make command doesn't work for
me, and I just assumed that Apple didn't allow it. Are there additional
server tools I ought to be installing?

I don't have any experience with Server, but with Mac OS X client you
need to install Xcode, which automatically installs such tools as
/usr/bin/make and /usr/bin/gcc. Look on your system install disc.

The definitely allow it. The official instructions for getting
subversion onto OS X Server (10.4), for example, rely on it.

Not additional server tools, but you should have a working set of the
dev tools.
