I had a quick look with grep and it couldn't USA_RESIDENT under /usr/src in 
6.1 at all.

It appears in three port Makefiles. In one it's passed into a scripts 
environment, but not used. In another it's used to set the default paper size 
of all things.

The only example I could find where it's used for anything meaningful is when 
xfree86 is built with the XDM_DES knob and it forces Americans to fetch their 
own copy of Wraphelp.c. There doesn't seem to be a corresponding usage in 
xorg, so maybe the  xfree86 port is just running a bit behind the times.
