So, did the example with __MAKE_CONF=/dev/stdin help? It allows you to
omit specifying makefile via `-f' or `.include'. More examples

  # append CFLAGS by overriding make.conf
  $ echo 'CFLAGS += -DDEBUG_LOCKS' | __MAKE_CONF=/dev/stdin make buildworld

  # append make.conf even if __MAKE_CONF is defined but empty
  $ (cat ${__MAKE_CONF-/etc/make.conf} /dev/null; echo 'CFLAGS += -DDEBUG_LOCKS') \
      | __MAKE_CONF=/dev/stdin make buildworld
