You NEVER use ANY of the defaults to actually build a new system. ALL of the definitions are self contained in the source. The "correct" invocation of 'make' specifies the collection of mk files to be used. As a bootstrap, you "wrap" the top level call into a simple one that doesn't really care what is in the default set but uses the system-installed 'make' (without all the arguments) to call one with all the context specified.
