That's by design. The install stores a default make.conf file in /etc/defaults/make.conf . Local changes should go in a new file named /etc/make.conf . The idea being that if you upgrade later, the upgrade will modify /etc/defaults/make.conf leaving your local changes intact. (Of course there's no guarantee that the local changes will still work after an upgrade, but at least they won't be overwritten.) There are a number of files in /etc/defaults -- it's worth checking that ou= t.
