The point I was trying to make wasn't clear.  I was just highlighting 
the fact that MAKECONF isn't some environment variable that's understood 
by make(1) -- it's a variable defined in bsd.own.mk and ${MAKECONF} is 
then included within bsd.own.mk.  With a standalone set of *.mk files 
for pkgsrc, we would simply not use /etc/mk.conf.  Instead we'd have 
PKGMAKECONF?=/etc/pkgsrc.mk and just check and use *that* value in our 
standalone pkgsrc *.mk files.  We would then completely isolate our own 
usage of make(1) or bmake(1) from whatever environment variables or 
config files that the system typically expects in its own use of make(1).
