I think this is very much an exception to the general purpose. /usr/ports should be uncoupled more from /usr/src, and /etc/make.conf is really a part of the building /usr/src, so as such should not contain configuration from /usr/ports. Would something like /etc/ports.conf be acceptable? That way it can be modified separately from the configuration for the main /usr/src tree, yet still allow 'local' modifications.
