As a side note, this seems to work, at least as far as obj dir creation 
goes:

make\
  __MAKE_CONF=/data/admin/build/vbox/make.conf\
  SRCCONF=/data/admin/build/vbox/src.conf\
  SRC_ENV_CONF=/data/admin/build/vbox/src-env.conf\
  -j4 buildworld

So either make.conf is still not being read, or it simply ignores the 
SRCCONF and SRC_ENV_CONF settings, contrary to my understanding of the 
src.conf man page - not unlikely:

---

      The default location of src.conf is /etc/src.conf, though an 
alternative location can be specified in the make(1) variable SRCCONF.

---


    The environment of make(1) for the build can be controlled via the
      SRC_ENV_CONF variable,
