I think this is what I was using:

RERUN_DETERMINER=fgrep 'Rerun to get cross-references right' >&-
TEX_COMMAND=latex
.SUFFIXES: .dvi .tex

.tex.dvi:
	$(TEX_COMMAND) $< < /dev/null
#if LaTeX is to be run twice to get references right (can't depend on
#.toc's, aux's... I think.  They are all dated the same.):
	-@$(RERUN_DETERMINER) $*.log && $(TEX_COMMAND) $< < /dev/null
