You may find it useful to place such directives in /etc/src.conf, rathr
than /etc/make.conf.

From respective man pages:

make.conf:
DESCRIPTION
     The file make.conf contains system-wide settings that will apply to every
     build using make(1) and the standard sys.mk file.

src.conf:
DESCRIPTION
     The src.conf file contains variables that control what components will be
     generated during the build process of the FreeBSD source tree; see
     build(7).

Caveat: I have not tried your specific case (of building the system 
with "WITHOUT_MODULES" defined).
