Other than texinfo/misc/Makefile these all include bsd.prog.mk which
should already be handling the /etc/make.conf stuff.

The real question now is why do all these makefiles explicitly null
out CFLAGS then add a bunch of defines to it???  That should be done
with setting COPTS, not CFLAGS!!!

Use COPTS instead of CFLAGS in the bloody makefiles, CFLAGS is global
to the tree, COPTS is private to a particular directory.
