Following up to myself...

Duh, I guess I should have taken the minute it took to browse through
bsd.pkg.mk before I sent that PR, there is _a lot_ of special PATH
handling in there...

${LOCALBASE}/bin is already added to MAKE_ENV, CONFIGURE_ENV and
SCRIPTS_ENV as far as I can see. But I guess somehow these packages
must do something that makes that PATH get lost. I'll try to
investigate this more when I get some time.

Can anyone else reproduce this problem?

Kind regards,
