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.
