/etc/make.conf and bsd.port.mk are only used by the port wrapper makefiles.
/etc/make.conf and bsd.port.mk are totally ignored by 99.99% of vendor
Makefiles.  You can't have bsd.port.mk pass things like 'CFLAGS=...
-D__FreeBSD__' to all the real makefiles because many will break as they
build CFLAGS from other definitions, and some don't even use CFLAGS at all.
