This logically should not be possible.

If you look at mk/bsd.prefs.mk around line 920 then _PKGSRC_USE_MKTOOLS 
can only be set to yes if the current package is not pkgtools/mktools.

If you then look at the end of mk/bsd.pkg.use.mk, mktools is only ever 
pulled in as a tool if _PKGSRC_USE_MKTOOLS=yes.

But somehow, even though you are in pkgtools/mktools, the dependency is 
being pulled in.

Is your checkout corrupt in some way, or you've set some things in 
mk.conf that are affecting these negatively?

Changing PREFER_* shouldn't affect this at all, as the sections above 
are the only logic involved in whether mktools is pulled in or not.
