If it's supported why WRKDIR assignments are not cleaned up?

  databases/jasperserver/Makefile:WRKDIR=               ${WRKDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}/work
  misc/py-xdelta3/Makefile:WRKDIR=              ${WRKDIRPREFIX}${MASTERDIR}/work
  net/py-miniupnpc/Makefile:WRKDIR=             ${WRKDIRPREFIX}${MASTERDIR}/work

In fact, Porter's Handbook encourages its redefining unlike WRKDIRPREFIX
