Well, it's "not very smart" for whomever's making the release to not
set that, no, I agree. :) The comments are reasonably explicit
elsewhere in release/Makefile:

# Set this to wherever the distfiles required by ${DOCPORTS} live.
DISTFILES?=     ${.CURDIR}/../../ports/distfiles

If you let this default to /usr/ports/distfiles, well, that's your
choice.

> make release has never been advertised as "simple".

Exactly, and those using it have to remain familiar with *all* of its
little foibles or they'll pay the price. :)
