Hmmm? What else should it do? USE_MOTIF means "build package with Motif
dependancy".  It was put in a file that specifies settings to be used
for all packages.  So all packages were built with Motif dependancies. 
That's not supprising.  I don't see how that affect can be avoided,
either.  It's like putting "LDADD=-lkvm" in /etc/mk.conf.  How could
(and why should) that avoid linking the entire userland with libkvm?
