 AFAICT yes.

 They seem not to be read at all: I added `MYTEST=test' to
 x11/xextproto/builtin.mk, but running `make -V MYTEST' from
 graphics/hicolor-icon-theme did not print it. However, doing the same
 with x11/renderproto/builtin.mk worked, so that builtin.mk file was
 read...
 
 BTW, in case one of these is a hint to some pkgsrc developer:
 
 $ cd pkgsrc/graphics/hicolor-icon-theme
 
 $ make -V _BLNK_PACKAGES
  x11-links gtk2 atk pango glib2 gettext cairo Xft2 fontconfig iconv expat glitz MesaLib libpixman freetype2 png tiff zlib jpeg xcursor Xrandr randrproto Xrender renderproto pthread Xfixes fixesproto xextproto xproto
 
 $ make -V USE_BUILTIN.xextproto
 no
 
 $ make -V BUILDLINK_DEPMETHOD.xextproto
 build
 
 $ make -V BUILDLINK_PREFIX.xextproto
 BUILDLINK_PREFIX.xextproto_not_found

 x11-links-0.30 - yes, it does: it contains
 /usr/pkg/share/x11-links/include/X11/extensions/extutil.h which is a
 link to /usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/extutil.h
 
 
 Regards, Jukka
