It is documented in build(7):

     buildworld           Build everything but the kernel, configure files in
                          etc, and release.  The actual build location prefix
                          used is ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR} for native
                          builds, and ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${TARGET}${.CURDIR}
                          for cross builds and native builds with variable
                          CROSS_BUILD_TESTING set.

It might have been used in older releases for something more meaningful, but again… not sure why/how tinderbox does the right thing by MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX.

Cheers,
