Yes, this was a long standing bug in freebsd, bsd.own.mk was included
by sys.mk so all the ?= might as well have been = since there is no
opportunity to pre-define.

I'm curious why simply running install-mk doesn't work for you?
Especially if you DTRT with Generic.sys.mk

Don't you want to always use Generic.sys.mk?
and put an OS specific sys.mk in a $OS subdir?  That way your tree
"just works" when mounted via NFS on multiple systems.

If you have a sys.mk in /usr/pkg/share/mk then you should be ok.
What is being found in /usr/share/mk that is causing you problems?

Setting up the environment correctly/consistently is better than
hacking make.

If /usr/pkg/share/mk contains sys.mk and everything else you need
anything else in the pre-compiled sys-path shouldn't matter.

The only way you have a hope of pkgsrc behaving consistently is if you
have a fully defined set of *.mk in pkg/share/mk or pkgsrc/mk and run bmake
with suitable -m args (or use a shell wrapper to set MAKESYSPATH).

Since pkgsrc is just one project and /usr/pkg/bin/bmake should be
useful for more, pkgsrc should run bmake with -m (or via a wrapper)
otherwise /usr/pkg/share/mk and pkgsrc/mk need to be the same which
may not be what everyone wants.
