They are documented for use by everyone in the system...
hier(7):
mk/ templates for make; see make(1)
make(1):
-m directory
Specify a directory in which to search for the system makefile
and makefiles included via the <...> style. Multiple -m options
can be specified to form a search path. This path will override
the default system include path, /usr/share/mk. The system
include path will always be appended to the search path used for
"..."-style inclusions and makefile searches (see the -I option).
and:
/usr/share/mk default system makefile directory
make should not include the directory by default if it isn't designed for
use by people that use make...
If it /usr/share/mk is only for the default system, we need to fix make
to not include it by default, and make /usr/src/Makefile and friends do
the properly thing... Until then, /usr/share/mk is for use by projects
outside /usr/src...
