mk.conf is pulled into BSD makefiles, and may thus contain any 
(site specific) code that's valid in Makefile. Any of them. Go and look
at /usr/share/mk/* for more complete documentation. :-)

For ftp_proxy, I'd rather suggest to put this into /etc/profile or
/etc/csh.cshrc or so (read make(1) for the interaction of environment
variables and make variables).
