At least for me, this is true:-)

I don't know the NES, so I'm probably of not much help. Can you repost the URL
of the NES tutorial?
BTW: What do the references to P65 mean in tutorprg.s? Is this another
assembler?

Since the program is an assembler program anyway, there is no real difference
between BSS and DATA, so you may also remove BSS completely and place any data
into DATA. You may also remove the STACK segment, since it is not used.
Additionally, some segments and memory areas use the "define = yes" statement,
which means that the linker defines symbols for start, end and size. As far as
I can tell, none of these symbols are actually used, so the "define = yes"
statements can be removed.

IMHO the makefile looks good, maybe with the exception of the hardcoded paths
to the executables.
