Sorry, I read it again don't see any answer to pkg_add or sysinstall.

You said "add -p to FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS" which implies the patch you are
talking about is to bsd.port.mk.  And then you say "to have *it*
(emphasis mine) work for ... environment OR in /etc/make.conf", which
means *it* should work if you set it in /etc/make.conf but not in your
environment.

It is not clear from your paragraph what *it* is.

Well, I just added

        :setenv=FOO=foo,BAR=bar:

to my /etc/login.conf and this is what I get:

===
>> echo $FOO
foo
>> echo $BAR
bar
>> uname -a

That looks like it's working to me. :)
