Yes, but not too far. BSD make uses a system of included makefiles, so even though you don't have one level of the system, that doesn't mean that other levels aren't expecting something to be there that you don't have. Take a look at http://freebsd.simplenet.com/doug-world.html#exclude to get some ideas, and then keep going up the makefile tree till you get to the point where what you are trying to exclude is actually being built.
