/etc/defaults/make.conf was, and still is, evaluated in 4-stable. [1]
However since all lines in that file are commented out it doesn't
actually set any defaults (unlike e.g. /etc/defaults/rc.conf which
actually sets default values for many variables.)
However one has never (or at least not for a very long time) been
supposed to modify /etc/defaults/make.conf, but any local modifications
are supposed to go into /etc/make.conf which means that it made more
sense to move /etc/defaults/make.conf to /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf
since it was just documentation of what variables one could set in
/etc/make.conf.
[1] From /usr/share/mk/sys.mk
[...]
.if exists(/etc/defaults/make.conf)
.include </etc/defaults/make.conf>
.endif
__MAKE_CONF?=/etc/make.conf
.if exists(${__MAKE_CONF})
.include "${__MAKE_CONF}"
.endif
