What about adding this in bdb.buildlink3.mk:

    .READONLY: BDB_ACCEPTABLE

This would do nothing right now but the corresponding check could be implemented in bmake and pkglint. Bash or even sh already has a readonly command, so this is nothing conceptually new.

Adding this check to bmake would be backwards-compatible. That's why I chose the above syntax rather that the straight-forward:

    .readonly BDB_ACCEPTED

Some people use pkgsrc with NetBSD's /usr/bin/make and I'd like to continue supporting that. I don't know how backwards-compatible pkgsrc intends to be in this regard. Is /usr/bin/make from NetBSD 1.6 still supported? I don't think this is written down anywhere.
