Normally LOCALBASE is defined in mk/default/mk.conf.
Why not to change this to

     .if exists(/usr/pkg/bin/sudo)
     SU_CMD=/usr/pkg/bin/sudo /bin/sh -c
     .endif

Or better why not just remove this .exist condition and
to keep
      SU_CMD=        /usr/local/bin/sudo /bin/sh -c

Do you also think that there is no cyclic dependency here
and that prompt for a passowrd (for su when sudo is uninstalled)
is ok in case of massive build?
