Brendon,

The gcc compiler is complaining that it no longer supports the 
/usr/include/malloc.h
header being used in the third party BUFR library.

You may be able to do a quick workaround by creating an empty malloc.h file 
that is used instead of
the deprication malloc.h on your system with:
touch /home/gempak/GEMPAK5.9.1/os/freebsd/include/malloc.h

Then restart the build with:
cd $NAWIPS
make all install programs_nc programs_gf

If your compiler refuses to let you override the malloc.h, then
the instances of malloc.h in the C source routines will have to be 
blocked for stdlib.h conforming platforms as your /usr/include/malloc.h
probably has upgraded the #warning starement for deprication to a #error type
of directive.
