It would be almost trivial to move ports configuration in general
out of a file that is located in (and thus arguably belongs to) the
base, into one that is clearly related to ports. Just add logic
something like this to /etc/make.conf:
if { exists /usr/local/etc/make.conf && building a port }
include /usr/local/etc/make.conf
endif
and put ports configuration in /usr/local/etc/make.conf
