Hm. It ought to be a check somewhere there. How does the BSD system use make.conf? Does it have a parser written in perl or something?

I believe it's a makefile included. From make.conf(5):

"The /etc/make.conf file is included from the appropriate Makefile which specifies the default settings for all the available options. Options need only be specified in /etc/make.conf when the system administrator wishes to override these defaults."

--disable-make-conf should work.

Then update you should update the doc:

./configure --help|grep make.conf --disable-make.conf do not use settings from /etc/make.conf
