Yes, but only if build.sh can't guess where you want the object
directory to be.

Setting it in make.conf not supposed to be possible.  make(1) internally
decides which object directory to use before it reads /etc/mk.conf.

No, that was not intentional.  Are you sure that it worked before?  What
do you get from (cd ${SRCDIR}; make -V __usrobjdir; make -V _SRC_TOP_),
and is your source in /usr/src or not?
