I was sly enough to add Ruslan to Cc in my previous mail :-)
Let's wait for his opinion on this and below.

In the meanwhile I peeked in /usr/share/mk and found that the handling
of NO_* knobs is quite far from being consistent.  For example:

- NO_MAN -- can be just defined ("YES" and "NO" both mean true),
	    handled at <bsd.own.mk> level (note that <bsd.own.mk>
	    is often included separately now and includes some magic);

- NO_OBJ -- can be just defined to be true, handled in <bsd.obj.mk>,
	    which is included from more convenient files like <bsd.prog.mk>;

- NO_SHARED -- must be set to something != "no" for the effect,
	       handled in <bsd.prog.mk>.

I'm unsure if there is a reason behind all this diversity.
