Hey Jonathan,

because it is more or less part of the src building process, maybe you 
can use 'SRC_ENV_CONF'. If I understand this snipped from src.conf(5) 
correctly:
The environment of make(1) for the build can be controlled via the
SRC_ENV_CONF variable, which defaults to /etc/src-env.conf.

For me, it sounds exactly like that what you would do with:
	make -j32 buildkernel PORTSDIR="/some/path"
However, I never used it, so I don't actually know...
