I'll change it to be a = instead of a ?= if that will clarify it.  It was
never intended to be mk.conf settable; the variable exists as an expansion
convenience and visual notation to mark the pathname's purpose in the
package Makefile.

pkgsrc is not designed to have a package's files outside of `etc' movable
about the filesystem by mk.conf settings.  So what you're describing is
actually a bug, not a feature.  (In part, it's a bug of historical habit, as
craploads of things in pkgsrc/mk are ?= or .if !<something> where they
should actually be unconditional.)
